Looking after things afterwards
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Book the replacement before removal
- File the consignment note
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Share any survey or test results
Things not to do
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Duty holders and landlords in Broadwater
For managing agents and freeholders in Broadwater, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Why people call us in Broadwater
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, though in good condition it does not always need to go.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Old cold water tanks
- Artex before plastering
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Old flues
Older buildings in Broadwater, near St. Mary's Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.

FAQs for Broadwater
Is asbestos common in Broadwater homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Broadwater from London?
Broadwater is about 48 miles from central London, well within our area.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Broadwater?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Broadwater?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
