Asbestos removal in Finberry
Every removal job in Finberry is planned first: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed, before anyone starts. We often deal with gutters and downpipes, textured coatings and floor tiles, and typical jobs are cement flues and gutters and old cold water tanks.
In a village like Finberry, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Questions from Finberry
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover small places like Finberry?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do you work in Finberry?
Yes, we do: our area includes Finberry and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can I stay at home during removal?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
