FAQs for Horsted Keynes
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you come out to small villages like Horsted Keynes?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
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; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Weighing up your options
Should it come out? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

How we price asbestos removal
Quotes vary because of:
- The category of work
- Travel and parking
- Disposal costs
- The number of samples or the size of the building
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Photos that help
Photos often save us a visit:
- An idea of size
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Street parking nearby
Unsure whether you need a test, a survey or removal? Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form, and we’ll advise.
Looking after things afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is usually a separate job, so plan it in advance.
Going forward:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell us about parking and access
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Book the replacement before removal
Avoid these
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
