Questions from Knave's Ash
Do you cover small places like Knave's Ash?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Knave's Ash and the area around Herne Bay station?
Yes, we cover Knave's Ash and the area towards Herne Bay station, about 2.6 miles north-west.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we will advise.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.

Helpful guides
A closer look at the materials
Gutters and downpipes
Cement gutters and downpipes are common.
Corrugated sheets

Prices and what affects them
These are the main things that affect the price of garage roof removal:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed

Unsure whether you need a test, a survey or removal? Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page, and we will advise.
Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
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.
After the job
File the waste paperwork: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- File the waste paperwork
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
What to avoid
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Keep weight off the roof.
For businesses and landlords in Knave's Ash
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Good to know
The usual limits are:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is generally a separate job
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
