Asbestos help in Stodmarsh
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Asbestos garage roof removal in Stodmarsh
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. People often contact us about garages in a row or block and storm-damaged sheets, including downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards.
In areas like Stodmarsh, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Questions from Stodmarsh
Is asbestos common in Stodmarsh homes?
Any home in Stodmarsh built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Sturry station?
Yes, we cover Stodmarsh and the area towards Sturry station, about 2.6 miles west.
Do you work in Stodmarsh?
Yes. We cover Stodmarsh and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Is my garage roof in Stodmarsh asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
What happens next
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Let us know where we can park
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
What to avoid
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
