Asbestos help in Brompton
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you manage or own a block in Brompton, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
How asbestos removal works in Brompton
Removal isn’t always the answer. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will tell you honestly when that’s the case. People often contact us about debris left from a previous job and textured coatings, involving floor tiles, cement roof sheets and textured coatings.
Properties in places like Brompton with larger plots may have several outbuildings with cement roofs, which can often be dealt with together. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

What happens next
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it in advance.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Share any survey or test results
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Materials we deal with
Water tanks and flues
A Gas Safe engineer disconnects any gas appliance first.
Floor tiles
Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.
Prices and what affects them
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos removal:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- How much there is
- Travel and parking
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- A picture of the whole area
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Labels, if any
- A clear close-up
You’ll get a written quote. Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 with the details.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Which option is right?
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Brompton: your questions answered
Do you cover Brompton and the area around Chatham station?
Yes. Chatham station is about 0.7 miles south-west of Brompton, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Brompton homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Brompton may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
