Across Berry's Green, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

Common questions in Berry's Green
Could my house in Berry's Green contain asbestos?
Any home in Berry's Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Normally, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
After we’ve finished in Berry's Green
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Keeping things safe:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- File the waste paperwork
Things not to do
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Keep weight off the roof.
