Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
For businesses and landlords in Eastling
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
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.
How we work
Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, ready to go to a permitted site. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.

Why people call us in Eastling
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so buildings across Kent built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
In older properties, we often see:
- Loft water tanks
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Garage roof sheets
In older buildings across Eastling, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.

FAQs for Eastling
Do you come out to small villages like Eastling?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Eastling?
There’s no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
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.
What happens next
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
Keeping things safe:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- File the consignment note
- Tell us about any previous survey
Things not to do
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
