With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you run a business from older premises in Crockenhill, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.

Afterwards
If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
What to avoid
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.

FAQs for Crockenhill
Do you cover Crockenhill and the area around Swanley station?
Yes, we cover Crockenhill and the area towards Swanley station, about 0.8 miles north.
Do you cover small places like Crockenhill?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
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.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you cover Crockenhill?
Yes, we do: our area includes Crockenhill and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
