What happens
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening. Late-December sunset in Whitfield is about 3:50pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Clear the way to the work area
- Keep away from the material in the meantime

Questions from Whitfield
Do you cover Whitfield from London?
Whitfield is about 64 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings 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.
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.
Do you work in Whitfield?
Yes, Whitfield is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.

- Measure or estimate the size of the roof

Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
