About our asbestos garage roof removal in St Mary's Bay
If you are not sure your garage roof in St Mary's Bay is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. Common materials are cement gutters, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets, and people usually contact us about garage conversions and sheet garages.
In a smaller place like St Mary's Bay, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Common questions in St Mary's Bay
How far is St Mary's Bay from London?
We cover St Mary's Bay, about 57 miles from central London.
Do older homes in St Mary's Bay have asbestos?
Any home in St Mary's Bay built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
After the job
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep pets and children inside
- Plan the new roof before removal
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
