How asbestos removal works in Fant
If your builder has found suspect material in Fant, work should stop there and people kept out. We will identify it and plan what happens next. Whether it’s sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and textured coatings, we deal with water tanks, cement roof sheets and textured coatings and more.
In towns and villages like Fant, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, reached through gardens and drives. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
What affects the price in Fant
Prices vary with:
- Parking and access charges
- How much waste there is
- The size of the job
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
Helping us quote
The most useful photos are:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A rough size or measurement
- Cracks or breaks
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
Include any existing survey or test when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.

Questions from Fant
Do you work near East Farleigh station?
Yes, we cover Fant and the area towards East Farleigh station, about 0.8 miles south.
How far is Fant from London?
We cover Fant, about 30 miles from central London.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What else we do in Fant
Your options compared
Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

Typical removal jobs in Fant
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Asbestos found during building work
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
In older properties in Fant, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.

What we do and do not cover
Before booking, note that:

- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
What we deal with
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits (cement)
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Water tanks
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Flue pipes
- Panels and boards
- Gutters and downpipes
- Bitumen roof felt
Looking after things afterwards
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, because the plan may need to change.
Once we are done:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Tell us about any previous survey
Avoid these
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
A closer look at the materials
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
