Helpful guides
What we deal with in Basted
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Old, cracked sheets
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Carport roofs
- Garages due a new roof
For rented homes with garages close to Borough Green & Wrotham station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
What to look for in a quote
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- If the price includes VAT
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
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.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
If you manage or own a block in Basted, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Questions from Basted
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you come out to small villages like Basted?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
What it might be made of
Fixings
Seized bolts are dealt with carefully.
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are generally asbestos cement too.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
