Common questions in Farthing Green
Do you work near Staplehurst station?
Yes, we cover Farthing Green and the area towards Staplehurst station, about 2.1 miles south-west.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Farthing Green?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the method depends on what the material is.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Duty holders and landlords in Farthing Green
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you manage or own a block in Farthing Green, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
What we deal with in Farthing Green
Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is when removal comes up.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Old cold water tanks
- Asbestos found during building work
- Artex ceilings before renovation
Landlords near Staplehurst station often time removal for when a property is empty.
What to look for in a quote
- Any exclusions
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work

DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
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.

- The category of work
