- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder

What it might be made of
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, which is normally well bound.
After we have finished in Garlinge Green
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
Things not to do
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Garlinge Green questions
Do you work near Chartham station?
Yes, we cover Garlinge Green and the area towards Chartham station, about 1.8 miles north.
Do you cover Garlinge Green from London?
Garlinge Green is about 52 miles from central London, well within our area.
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 are worried about your health.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
What it costs
What changes the cost:
- Parking and access charges
- The survey scope
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Disposal costs
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Typical removal jobs in Garlinge Green
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
These come up again and again:
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Loft water tanks
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
If you let property near Chartham station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.
