Asbestos garage roof removal for St Paul's Cray properties
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Typical jobs include roofs to clear before demolition and brittle, leaking roofs, involving ridge pieces, cement gutters and bargeboards.
In parts of London like St Paul's Cray, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, so check who owns the block. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Common questions in St Paul's Cray
Do you work near St Mary Cray station?
Yes, we cover St Paul's Cray, including the streets around St Mary Cray station.
Do you work in St Paul's Cray despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do you work in St Paul's Cray?
Yes. We cover St Paul's Cray and the surrounding area as part of Greater London. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
What it might be made of
Roof felt
We will tell you if it needs testing.
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are normally asbestos cement too.
For landlords, agents and businesses
For managing agents and freeholders in St Paul's Cray, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
How we work
We wear disposable coveralls and respirators throughout, and keep the area clear of everyone else. When we are done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows. In December, it’s dark in St Paul's Cray by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
