Remove it or leave it? If it’s sound and you are not planning work, it can stay; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
How it works
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. The work area is kept clear while we’re working. In December, it’s dark in Stone Hill by about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
How to prepare
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep children and pets away on the day

DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Stone Hill: your questions answered
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do older homes in Stone Hill have asbestos?
If your home in Stone Hill was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Do you cover Stone Hill?
We do: Stone Hill is within the area we cover in Kent. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Typically, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we’ll advise.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
