Which option is right?
Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; cracks, leaks or a conversion usually mean removal. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Prices and what affects them
Our quotes take into account:
- Disposal costs
- Travel and parking
- What the material is and its state
- Access to the area
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Helping us quote
A few photos can save a site visit:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- The access route
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
Include any existing survey or test when you call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form; it helps us quote accurately.
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

FAQs for Barming Heath
Is asbestos common in Barming Heath homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Barming Heath may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Barming Heath?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If you manage or own a block in Barming Heath, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
