Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Bredgar, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Materials we deal with
Textured walls
They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.
Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
Afterwards
File the result and the paperwork.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Send photos of the coatings
- Give us room sizes
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Book your plasterer after removal
What to avoid
Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Common questions in Bredgar
Could my house in Bredgar contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Bredgar may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
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.
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.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Is my textured ceiling in Bredgar asbestos?
Not every coating does: many coatings are asbestos-free. A sample test tells you which you have.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
