Matfield: your questions answered
Do older homes in Matfield have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Matfield can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Matfield from London?
Matfield is about 31 miles from central London, well within our area.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
Do you work in Matfield?
Yes, we do: Matfield is within the area we cover in Kent. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Duty holders and landlords in Matfield
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
How we work
In strong wind or heavy rain, we may have to stop, for safety. Parking close by makes the day easier, so let us know about any restrictions. Late-December sunset in Matfield is about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

Unsure whether you need a test, a survey or removal? Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749, and we will advise.
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
What’s included, and what isn’t
What’s in and what’s out:
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
