FAQs for Radfield
Do you cover Radfield and the area around Teynham station?
Yes, we cover Radfield and the area towards Teynham station, about 0.9 miles east.
My garage in Radfield 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.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Radfield
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they will not take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. From single and double garage roofs and roofs to clear before demolition, we cover ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes and more.
Rural garages near Radfield are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Where asbestos turns up
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so many garages across Kent still have them.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Garages due for demolition
- Single and double garage roofs
- Storm-damaged sheets
If you are a landlord with garages near Teynham station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
What your quote should include
- Whether the job needs notifying
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- How fibres will be kept down
- If the price includes VAT
