Asbestos removal for Brasted Chart properties
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, with a consignment note for your records. Typical materials include cement roof sheets, cement soffits and flue pipes, and people generally contact us about outbuildings with cement roofs and Artex before plastering.
In places like Brasted Chart, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Brasted Chart
Do you work on properties 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.
Can you work in Brasted Chart with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
What happens to the waste?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.

Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Looking after things afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
