Asbestos removal in Broad Oak
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. From broken sheets in gardens and floor tiles before a new floor, we deal with water tanks, cement roof sheets and flue pipes.
In places like Broad Oak, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

FAQs for Broad Oak
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover small places like Broad Oak?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.
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’ve finished.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
What does removal cost?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.

Which option is right?
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is typically right. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
