FAQs for Hollingbourne
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover Hollingbourne and the area around Hollingbourne station?
Yes. Hollingbourne station is about 0.6 miles west of Hollingbourne, and we cover both.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you cover Hollingbourne?
Yes. We cover Hollingbourne and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Your options compared
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.

A closer look at the materials
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, generally tightly bound.
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Avoid these
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
