Common questions in Street End
Do you cover small places like Street End?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do older homes in Street End have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Street End may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Materials, one by one
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Where asbestos turns up
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so they’re common across Kent.
These come up again and again:
- Garage blocks
- Concrete-panel garages
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Lean-to roofs
Around Blean Woods RSPB Reserve, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores.

What happens
Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then take the waste away. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next. In December, it’s dark in Street End by about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

- We quote for the removal and disposal
- We remove the sheets carefully
- The sheets are wrapped and taken away, and you get the consignment note

Be wary of a price that’s much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Ask for the waste paperwork. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
