Questions from Hacklinge
Do you cover Hacklinge from London?
We cover Hacklinge, about 65 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Hacklinge?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
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.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Hacklinge?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The right method depends on what the material is.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.

HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Why people call us in Hacklinge
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Asbestos garages
Older buildings in Hacklinge, near Church of St George or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.
