Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Debris left from a previous job
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Cement water tanks in lofts
If you let property near Knockholt station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.

Helpful guides
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Weighing up your options
Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Halstead questions
Do you cover small places like Halstead?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do older homes in Halstead have asbestos?
If your home in Halstead was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.

Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
