Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Where asbestos turns up
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Single and double garage roofs
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Roofs to clear before demolition
Across Hinxhill, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000.
What your quote should include
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- What isn’t included
Duty holders and landlords in Hinxhill
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Weighing up your options
What about painting or overcladding? Sometimes possible on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparation must not disturb the surface. See our guide to repair, paint or replace. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

- Clear written quotes

Hinxhill questions
Do you come out to small villages like Hinxhill?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Hinxhill and the area around Ashford International station?
Yes, we cover Hinxhill and the area towards Ashford International station, about 2.4 miles west.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is generally a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Do not pressure-wash it first.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.

- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
