Claygate: your questions answered
Do you cover Claygate and the area around Marden station?
Yes. Marden station is about 1.8 miles east of Claygate, and we cover both.
My garage in Claygate has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work in Claygate?
Yes. We cover Claygate and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Is my garage roof in Claygate asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you can’t be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.

Should you do it yourself?
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.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

Your options compared
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and there is a real risk of falling through the roof. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Why choose us
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Clear advice on your options
- Waste paperwork for every removal
