Asbestos removal for Broomfield
About our asbestos removal in Broomfield
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, because the method depends on the material. Common materials are textured coatings, flue pipes and water tanks, and people generally contact us about old floor tiles and black adhesive and textured coatings.
In places like Broomfield, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Removal jobs in Broomfield
Broomfield is about 5 miles east of Maidstone, in Kent. Broomfield has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. We work in all 922 towns and villages across Kent. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 19 miles away.
For non-domestic buildings like Leeds and Broomfield Church of England Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty. If you let property near Hollingbourne station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal. Broomfield is within about 2 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape; removing asbestos from rural buildings there follows the same rules, with access across yards and fields to plan.

What else we do in Broomfield
Duty holders and landlords in Broomfield
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If your business premises in Broomfield were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Your questions about asbestos removal in Broomfield
Do you cover Broomfield and the area around Hollingbourne station?
Yes. Hollingbourne station is about 1.6 miles north of Broomfield, and we cover both.
How far is Broomfield from London?
Broomfield is about 36 miles from central London, well within our area.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Typical removal jobs in Broomfield
Sometimes damage forces the issue, especially if broken material is lying around.
Typical jobs in Broomfield include:
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Garage roof sheets
Older buildings in Broomfield, near Church of St Margaret or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.
Questions to ask before booking
- How fibres will be kept down
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- What paperwork you get
- VAT, clearly stated
After the job
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- File the consignment note
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Send photos of the material and the access
Avoid these
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Good to know
Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- 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
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Which option is right?
Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. Every quote says whether VAT is included.
