Asbestos removal near Hastingleigh
Asbestos removal in Hastingleigh covers homes, rental property and workplaces: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Every job is planned to HSE guidance, with the waste taken to a permitted site. We often deal with flue pipes, water tanks and cement soffits, and people normally contact us about vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and garage roof sheets.
In a village like Hastingleigh, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
What happens next
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it before the removal date.
A few practical points:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Things not to do
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
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.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Hastingleigh must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Hastingleigh: your questions answered
Do you cover Hastingleigh and the area around Wye station?
Yes, we cover Hastingleigh and the area towards Wye station, about 3.2 miles north-west.
How far is Hastingleigh from London?
Hastingleigh is about 52 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Do you work in Hastingleigh?
Yes, we do: Hastingleigh is within the area we cover in Kent. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
