Landlords, managing agents and employers
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If you run a business from older premises in Sundridge, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
Once we’re done:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Book your roofer in advance
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep pets and children inside
What to avoid
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.

Common questions in Sundridge
Is asbestos common in Sundridge homes?
If your home in Sundridge was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
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.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Is my garage roof in Sundridge asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
