Asbestos removal near Goose Green
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. Common materials are water tanks, textured coatings and gutters and downpipes, and people usually contact us about asbestos found during building work and cement water tanks in lofts.
In areas like Goose Green, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

FAQs for Goose Green
Do older homes in Goose Green have asbestos?
If your home in Goose Green was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Yalding station?
Yes, we cover Goose Green and the area towards Yalding station, about 2.5 miles east.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can usually stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
What happens
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, and keep the material wet as we work. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away. Outdoor removal in Goose Green is planned to finish in daylight: that means by about 3:55pm in December, or about 9:20pm in June.

Helpful guides
After the job
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
A few practical points:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Share any survey or test results
- Tell us about parking and access
Things not to do
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Options to consider in Goose Green
Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is generally right. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.

DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
