Should you do it yourself?
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.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Typical removal jobs in Coxheath
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, though in good condition it does not always need to go.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Loft water tanks
- Artex before plastering
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Asbestos garages
In older buildings across Coxheath, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan.
Questions to ask before you book
- The documents you’ll receive

How it works
Materials are released carefully and removed whole where possible, never broken up, dropped or cut with power tools. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening. We plan outdoor jobs in Coxheath to finish before dark: in late December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:15pm.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- If it hasn’t been identified, we sample it first
- We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a quote
- On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can
- The area is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with paperwork
Before we arrive

Coxheath: your questions answered
Do you cover Coxheath from London?
Coxheath is about 31 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Coxheath and the area around East Farleigh station?
Yes, we cover Coxheath and the area towards East Farleigh station, about 1.5 miles north.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.

Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Responsibilities for owners
For managing agents and freeholders in Coxheath, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Your options compared
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. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
