Common questions in Plaxtol
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
My garage in Plaxtol has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Do you work in Plaxtol?
We do: our area includes Plaxtol and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
For businesses and landlords in Plaxtol
If you manage or own a block in Plaxtol, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Typical garage roof jobs in Plaxtol
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
In older properties, we often see:
- Sheet garages
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Garage blocks
If you are a landlord with garages near Borough Green & Wrotham station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.

Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Places near Plaxtol
Which option is right?
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there’s a serious falls risk too. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Why people choose us
- Reports and results you can share
- No removal until we know what it is
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
Read our prices page or published price ranges.
Afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.
To avoid problems in future:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep pets and children inside
- Book your roofer in advance
Don’ts
Keep weight off the roof.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
