Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Which option is right?
Remove, or leave and manage? Sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Every quote says whether VAT is included.
Why us?
- Across London and the South East
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations

Common questions in Newland Green
How far is Newland Green from London?
Newland Green is about 41 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my house in Newland Green contain asbestos?
Any home in Newland Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

At a school such as Egerton Church of England Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty. Older buildings in Newland Green, near Church of St James or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan. Parts of the Kent Downs National Landscape are within about 7 miles of Newland Green; removing asbestos from rural buildings there follows the same rules, with access across yards and fields to plan.

What it might be made of
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
Some practical advice:
- Let us know where we can park
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Book the replacement before removal
Avoid these
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote reflects:
- Material and condition
- How many samples are needed
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- How easy it is to reach
A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
