Asbestos removal for Frant properties
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, with a consignment note for your records. From textured coatings and floor tiles before a new floor, we deal with cement roof sheets, flue pipes and gutters and downpipes.
In areas like Frant, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Materials we deal with
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.
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
The scope of asbestos removal
The usual limits are:
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.

Asbestos removal in Frant: local notes
Frant is about 3 miles south of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. In Frant, we hear from homeowners, landlords and businesses about all kinds of jobs. We work in 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. We work right across the region, from Frant to Crawley (20 miles away).
Older buildings in Frant, near The Parish Church of St Alban or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first. At a school such as Frant Church of England Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty. Frant is within about 4 miles of the High Weald National Landscape. Rural removal jobs nearby often mean planning access across yards and fields.

Frant questions
Do you cover small places like Frant?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Frant and the area around Frant station?
Yes, we cover Frant and the area towards Frant station, about 1.2 miles north-east.
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.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Duty holders and landlords in Frant
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Frant, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
