About our asbestos removal in Force Green
Licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence. We will tell you if your job in Force Green falls into that category. From cement flues and gutters and asbestos found during building work, we deal with water tanks, gutters and downpipes and cement roof sheets.
In London neighbourhoods like Force Green, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.

We remove them without cutting with power tools.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
For managing agents and freeholders in Force Green, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Your questions about asbestos removal in Force Green
Do older homes in Force Green have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Force Green may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Force Green?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
