Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
About our asbestos removal in Badlesmere
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. People often contact us about old sheds and coal bunkers and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes, involving gutters and downpipes, water tanks and cement roof sheets.
In places like Badlesmere, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Parking close by makes the day easier, so let us know about any restrictions. In winter, the light goes in Badlesmere by about 3:50pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Common questions in Badlesmere
Do you cover Badlesmere and the area around Selling station?
Yes. Selling station is about 2.7 miles north-east of Badlesmere, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Badlesmere homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Badlesmere may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
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.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
A closer look at the materials
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, generally tightly bound.
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Weighing up your options
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
