Responsibilities for owners
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Longlands, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Longlands
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Longlands. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. From garage conversions and double garages, we cover downpipes, ridge pieces and bargeboards and more.
In Longlands, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Common questions in Longlands
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you work near New Eltham station?
Yes. New Eltham station is about 0.8 miles north-west of Longlands, and we cover both.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
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. Photos help us check.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
