Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.

Asbestos garage roof removal in Sevenscore
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. We often deal with cement wall panels, downpipes and bargeboards, and people typically contact us about cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and garages in a row or block.
Garages around Sevenscore may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Helpful guides
Nearby places to Sevenscore

Questions from Sevenscore
Do you cover small places like Sevenscore?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
My garage in Sevenscore 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.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
In most cases, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do you cover Sevenscore?
We do: Sevenscore is within the area we cover in Kent. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
