Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Common questions in Hoaden
Do you cover small places like Hoaden?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Hoaden from London?
We cover Hoaden, about 60 miles from central London.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Is my garage roof in Hoaden asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
What affects the price in Hoaden
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Access to the area

Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.

Where asbestos turns up
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so they’re common across Kent.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Lean-to roofs
- Garage blocks
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Broken sheets after high winds
If you’re a landlord with garages near Minster station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
