Asbestos removal for Broomfield properties
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified. Typical materials include cement roof sheets, cement soffits and textured coatings, and people usually contact us about old waste on site and floor tiles before a new floor.
In Broomfield, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

Do you cover small places like Broomfield?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How far is Broomfield from London?
Broomfield is about 55 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.

A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
For businesses and landlords in Broomfield
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
What we deal with in Broomfield
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
People generally contact us about one of these:
- Old waste on site
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Artex before plastering
- Garage roofs and whole garages
Landlords near Herne Bay station often time removal for when a property is empty.
