DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Swanley Village
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they will not take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Whether it’s carport roofs and single and double garage roofs, we deal with ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes and more.
In towns and villages like Swanley Village, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Swanley Village: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Swanley Village?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Are garage roofs in Swanley Village generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
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.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Materials we deal with
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. We wet them and lower them whole.
Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- How much waste there is
- How many samples are needed
- Parking and access charges
- The type of material and its condition
Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
What to photograph
A few photos can save a site visit:
- The access route
- A picture of the whole area
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Cracks or breaks
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 to get started.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Options to consider in Swanley Village
Be wary of a price that’s much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Always ask for the consignment note. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
