Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

How far is South Darenth from London?
South Darenth is about 16 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Do you work in South Darenth?
Yes. We cover South Darenth and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
