Common questions in Lower Hartlip
Do you cover Lower Hartlip and the area around Newington station?
Yes. Newington station is about 1.1 miles north-east of Lower Hartlip, and we cover both.
How far is Lower Hartlip from London?
We cover Lower Hartlip, about 34 miles from central London.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Choosing the right option
What about painting or overcladding? Sometimes possible on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparation must not disturb the surface. Our guide covers the options. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Materials we deal with
Ridge pieces
We take them off with the sheets.
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
Looking after things afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
After we’ve finished:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Keep pets and children inside
- Book your roofer in advance
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Avoid these
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Where asbestos turns up
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Lean-tos and carports
- Block garages
- Brittle, leaking roofs
In Lower Hartlip, many garages and sheds were added decades ago.
Comparing quotes

- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- You get a written quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
Getting ready
