Kencot: your questions answered
Do you cover Kencot from London?
Kencot is about 67 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover small places like Kencot?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Options to consider in Kencot
Removal first, then the new roof, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.
How we work in Kencot
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Kencot
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
In older properties, we often see:
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Lean-to roofs
- Garage blocks
In Kencot, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
What your quote should include
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- If the price includes VAT
- What category of work it is
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
