Broad Tenterden: your questions answered
Do you cover Broad Tenterden from London?
We cover Broad Tenterden, about 46 miles from central London.
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
What happens to the waste?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note as your record.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
What’s included, and what is not
Before booking, note that:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is normally separate
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Photos of the material and the route in help
Avoid these
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Weighing up your options
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 generally right. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Why choose us
- Records for your files
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Work done to the regulations
See how we quote and published price ranges.
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
