FAQs for Hildenborough
Do you cover small places like Hildenborough?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Hildenborough and the area around Hildenborough station?
Yes. Hildenborough station is about 0.7 miles west of Hildenborough, and we cover both.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
What happens to the waste?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note as your record.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Asbestos removal in Hildenborough
You don’t always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will say so. Typical jobs include garage roofs and whole garages and textured coatings, involving floor tiles, water tanks and cement roof sheets.
In towns and villages like Hildenborough, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
After the job
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
Going forward:
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- File the consignment note
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Tell us about any previous survey
Avoid these
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
