What it might be made of

Gutters and downpipes

Cement gutters and downpipes are common.

Ridge pieces

Ridge cappings are typically asbestos cement too.

Choosing the right option

Paint or overclad instead? Sometimes possible on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparation must not disturb the surface. Our guide covers the options. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

What you get

  • London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
  • Homes, rented property and workplaces
  • Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
  • Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder

Take a look at how we price jobs or published price ranges.

For landlords, agents and businesses

Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.

Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

Prices and what affects them

Our quotes take into account:

  • What the material is and its state
  • The quantity or area
  • Disposal costs
  • Travel and parking

Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Photos that help

When you send photos, these help most:

  • A rough size or measurement
  • Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
  • A photo of the whole area
  • Visible markings

Every job is quoted in writing. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 with the details, including any survey or test you already have.

What we deal with in Birchett's Green

Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.

These come up again and again:

  • Garage blocks
  • Garages being knocked down
  • Old, cracked sheets
  • Concrete-panel garages

If you are a landlord with garages near Stonegate station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.

Comparing quotes

  • Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
  • Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
  • How fibres will be kept down
  • What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof

FAQs for Birchett's Green

Are garage roofs in Birchett's Green usually asbestos?

Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.

Do you come out to small villages like Birchett's Green?

Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.

Where do the sheets go?

Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.

Do you take down the walls too?

Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.

What if asbestos is found during building work?

Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.

I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?

Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.

Can you quote from photos?

Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.

How it works

After removal, we clean up and check for debris, then load the wrapped waste. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next. In December, it’s dark in Birchett's Green by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

  1. Get in touch with photos
  2. We confirm the material, testing a sample if needed
  3. We quote for the removal and disposal
  4. On the day we wet, unfix and lower the sheets whole
  5. The waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away on the day
  • Let us know if something’s broken
  • Tell us about parking and access
