Prices and what affects them
Our quotes take into account:
- Access to the area
- The category of work
- How much there is
- Waste quantity and disposal
A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Sending photos
A few photos can save a site visit:
- Cracks or breaks
- Labels, if any
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Approximate dimensions
Include any existing survey or test when you call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Weighing up your options
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. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
What you get

- No removal until we know what it is
- Domestic and commercial work
- Across London and the South East

DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Materials, one by one
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
Roof felt
We will say if it should be tested.
Where asbestos turns up

- Carport roofs

If you are a landlord with garages near Shepherds Well station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.

Common questions in Tilmanstone
Do you cover Tilmanstone and the area around Shepherds Well station?
Yes, we cover Tilmanstone and the area towards Shepherds Well station, about 3.3 miles south-west.
My garage in Tilmanstone 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.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
