FAQs for Northfleet Green
My garage in Northfleet Green has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
How far is Northfleet Green from London?
Northfleet Green is about 19 miles from central London, well within our area.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do you cover Northfleet Green?
Yes. We cover Northfleet Green and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Send us the postcode for a quote.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is typically a short job, though access and condition affect it.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it’s useful when you sell.
Some practical advice:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Give us a rough size
Things not to do
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.

Where asbestos turns up
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Single and double garage roofs
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Garages due for demolition
For rented homes with garages close to Ebbsfleet International station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- If the price includes VAT
- What paperwork you get
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
What it might be made of
Roof felt
We will say if it should be tested.
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are normally asbestos cement too.

DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Weighing up your options
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
