Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.

Fairseat: your questions answered
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do older homes in Fairseat have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Typically, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
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.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
