Asbestos removal for Hartlip
Your questions about asbestos removal in Hartlip
Do you come out to small villages like Hartlip?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Hartlip and the area around Newington station?
Yes. Newington station is about 1.3 miles east of Hartlip, and we cover both.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Not always. Cement and textured coatings are typically non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
How asbestos removal works in Hartlip
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, and you get the waste paperwork. From old waste on site and asbestos garages, we deal with cement soffits, textured coatings and floor tiles.
In a village like Hartlip, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
How we work
We unfix materials and take them out in whole pieces where we can, never broken up, dropped or cut with power tools. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions. Outdoor removal in Hartlip is planned to finish in daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:15pm.
- Tell us what needs removing and send photos
- If it hasn’t been identified, we sample it first
- We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a quote
- On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can
- We clean up, dispose of the waste legally and send the consignment note
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Find any old asbestos reports

Typical removal jobs in Hartlip
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Materials found mid-project
At a school such as Hartlip Endowed Church of England Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
Before you book anyone
- What paperwork you get
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- Any exclusions
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
Afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
To avoid problems in future:
- File the consignment note
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell us about any previous survey
Don’ts
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
What we do and do not cover
Worth knowing before booking:
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Making good is normally a separate job
