In Broad Ford, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

After the job
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
Going forward:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Things not to do
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- Material and condition
- Travel and parking
- The category of work
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Sending photos
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Street parking nearby
- An idea of size
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Broad Ford: your questions answered
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do older homes in Broad Ford have asbestos?
Any home in Broad Ford built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Broad Ford?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. Every job gets a written quote.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and does not cover:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is normally separate
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
What we deal with
- Flue pipes
- Panels and boards
- Soffits (cement)
- Bitumen roof felt
- Artex and textured coatings
- Gutters and downpipes
- Water tanks
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Asbestos cement sheets
Weighing up your options
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.

- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Work done to the regulations

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Broad Ford must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Where asbestos turns up
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Old flues
For rentals close to Marden station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.
