Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Where asbestos turns up
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Lean-to roofs
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Prefab garages with cement walls
If you are a landlord with garages near Harrietsham station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.
What your quote should include
- Suitable insurance for the work
- The documents you will receive
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab

Chartway Street: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Chartway Street?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
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.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
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.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
