Windmill Hill questions
Do you work near Gravesend station?
Yes, we cover Windmill Hill and the area towards Gravesend station, about 0.5 miles north-west.
How far is Windmill Hill from London?

My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
Step by step
We start by sealing and protecting the room, and keep the coating damp as we work. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Send photos of the textured surfaces
- We test a sample of each coating
- We explain your options: leave, cover or remove
- We carry out the removal
- We dispose of the waste legally
Getting ready

Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
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.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
