FAQs for Hartley
Do you cover Hartley from London?
We cover Hartley, about 39 miles from central London.
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can typically stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Asbestos removal near Hartley
If your builder has found suspect material in Hartley, work should stop there and people kept out. We will identify it and plan what happens next. Common materials are cement roof sheets, textured coatings and floor tiles, and typical jobs are cement flues and gutters and outbuildings with cement roofs.
In towns and villages like Hartley, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.

- A written quote follows, covering method, controls and disposal
- We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can

What it costs
What changes the cost:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- How much there is
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Disposal costs
The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Helping us quote
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- How we’d reach it
- Cracks or breaks
- Street parking nearby
- An overall view
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Hartley
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Kent may contain it.
Typical jobs in Hartley include:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Garage roof sheets
- Debris left from a previous job
At a school such as High Weald Academy, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
