FAQs for Bloodden
Do older homes in Bloodden have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Bloodden may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Bloodden from London?
Bloodden is about 58 miles from central London, well within our area.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs do not generally affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do you work in Bloodden?
Yes. We cover Bloodden and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.

How we price asbestos removal
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos removal:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The size of the job
- How easy it is to reach
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Options to consider in Bloodden
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. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Looking after things afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- File the consignment note
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Tell us about parking and access
- Send photos of the material and the access
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
