Your questions about asbestos removal in Groombridge
Do you come out to small villages like Groombridge?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do older homes in Groombridge have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Groombridge may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you manage or own a block in Groombridge, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Groombridge, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.

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. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and use controls to keep dust down. Late-December sunset in Groombridge is about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

- We clean up, dispose of the waste legally and send the consignment note
