About our asbestos removal in Broom Hill
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. Whether it’s old sheds and coal bunkers and garage roofs and whole garages, we cover textured coatings, flue pipes and cement soffits.
In London neighbourhoods like Broom Hill, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Broom Hill: your questions answered
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do older homes in Broom Hill have asbestos?
If your home in Broom Hill was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
How do I get a quote?
Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Broom Hill
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so buildings across Greater London built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Finds during refurbishment
- Textured coatings
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Garage roof sheets
In older buildings across Broom Hill, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.

What else we do in Broom Hill
Responsibilities for owners
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If you manage or own a block in Broom Hill, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Materials we see
- Panels and boards
- Garage and shed roofs
- Flue pipes
- Gutters and downpipes
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits (cement)

Weighing up your options
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
