Common questions in Brattle
Do you work near Appledore (Kent) station?
Yes. Appledore (Kent) station is about 3.1 miles south-east of Brattle, and we cover both.
Do you cover Brattle from London?
Brattle is about 48 miles from central London, well within our area.
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.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Brattle?
There’s no fixed price: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What else we do in Brattle
Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you run a business from older premises in Brattle, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
How we work
We unfix materials and take them out in whole pieces where we can, without breaking, dropping or power tools. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you before carrying on. We plan outdoor jobs in Brattle to finish before dark: in late December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:15pm.

DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
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.
What we do and don’t cover
Worth knowing before you book:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
