How asbestos removal works in Castle Hill
You do not always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll say so. Whether it’s debris left from a previous job and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles, we deal with gutters and downpipes, floor tiles and flue pipes.
In towns and villages like Castle Hill, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Helpful guides
Castle Hill questions
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover Castle Hill and the area around Paddock Wood station?
Yes, we cover Castle Hill and the area towards Paddock Wood station, about 2.2 miles north-west.
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.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
After we’ve finished in Castle Hill
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is generally a separate job, so plan it in advance.
Keeping things safe:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
Don’ts
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you manage or own a block in Castle Hill, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.

Typical removal jobs in Castle Hill
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Materials found mid-project
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Garage roof sheets
If you let property near Paddock Wood station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.
