Common questions in East Hill
Do you come out to small villages like East Hill?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover East Hill and the area around Shoreham (Kent) station?
Yes. Shoreham (Kent) station is about 2.1 miles west of East Hill, and we cover both.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.

Which option is right?
Remove it or leave it? If it’s sound and you are not planning work, it can stay; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Why choose us
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Quotes that spell out the scope

Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
