Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Looking after things afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Book your roofer in advance
- Give us a rough size
What to avoid
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
What it costs
Our quotes take into account:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Material and condition
- How much there is

Our quotes are clear about VAT.
Photos that help

Questions from Bitchet Green
Do you cover Bitchet Green from London?
Bitchet Green is about 22 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Bitchet Green have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Bitchet Green may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do you cover Bitchet Green?
Yes. We cover Bitchet Green and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
