Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
How asbestos removal works in Brookland
Every removal job in Brookland is planned first: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. Common materials are textured coatings, water tanks and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are cement flues and gutters and asbestos garages.
In a village like Brookland, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Common questions in Brookland
Do you work near Appledore (Kent) station?
Yes, we cover Brookland and the area towards Appledore (Kent) station, about 2.5 miles north.
Do you cover Brookland from London?
We cover Brookland, about 53 miles from central London.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Brookland?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.

Choosing the right option
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
