Common questions in Penenden Heath
Do you cover Penenden Heath and the area around Maidstone East station?
Yes. Maidstone East station is about 0.7 miles south-west of Penenden Heath, and we cover both.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Typically not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
For businesses and landlords in Penenden Heath
If your business premises in Penenden Heath were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
