Take a look at how we price jobs and our cost guide.
Afterwards
File the waste paperwork: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Things not to do
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Prices and what affects them
When we quote, we look at:
- Travel and parking
- The type of material and its condition
- How many samples are needed
- Disposal costs
Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
What to photograph
For a quick quote, include:
- Approximate dimensions
- A photo of the whole area
- A clear close-up
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
Photos and a postcode help us quote quickly: just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

What we deal with in Mundy Bois
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.
In older properties, we often see:
- Single garages
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Sheet garages
- Garages due for demolition
Older houses in Mundy Bois, near Church of St James or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

Questions from Mundy Bois
Could my house in Mundy Bois contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
How dangerous is asbestos?
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 I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
