Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Where asbestos turns up
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so many garages across Kent still have them.
In older properties, we often see:
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Garage blocks
- Sheet garages
If you let a house with a garage near Sittingbourne station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
What your quote should include

Tunstall: your questions answered
Could my house in Tunstall contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Tunstall can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Sittingbourne station?
Yes. Sittingbourne station is about 1.4 miles north-east of Tunstall, and we cover both.
How do I get a quote?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.

Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Looking after things afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
To avoid problems in future:
- File the waste paperwork
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Book your roofer in advance
What to avoid
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Never cut or break the sheets.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
