Asbestos help in Pittswood
Which option is right?
Does the roof have to come off? If it’s sound and you’re not planning work, it can stay; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
What you get
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Identify first, remove only when needed

In a village like Pittswood, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
For businesses and landlords in Pittswood
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If your business premises in Pittswood were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
After the job
File the waste paperwork: it’s useful when you sell.
Some practical advice:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Don’ts
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Never cut or break the sheets.
Pittswood questions
Do you cover Pittswood and the area around Tonbridge station?
Yes, we cover Pittswood and the area towards Tonbridge station, about 3 miles south-west.
My garage in Pittswood has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How can I get a price?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
