Asbestos help in East Malling
East Malling: your questions answered
Do you cover East Malling and the area around East Malling station?
Yes, we cover East Malling and the area towards East Malling station, about 0.7 miles south-east.
Do older homes in East Malling have asbestos?
If your home in East Malling was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Do you cover East Malling?
Yes, we do: our area includes East Malling and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
How asbestos removal works in East Malling
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified. Typical jobs include asbestos garages and cement water tanks in lofts, involving water tanks, flue pipes and floor tiles.
In a smaller place like East Malling, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, reached through gardens and drives. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If your business premises in East Malling were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Limits to be aware of
So you know what to expect:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
