For businesses and landlords in Howt Green
If you run a business from older premises in Howt Green, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
What it might be made of
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is usually well bound.

Howt Green: your questions answered
How far is Howt Green from London?
We cover Howt Green, about 36 miles from central London.
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.
Can I stay at home during removal?
For outdoor jobs, you can usually stay put. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
How do I get a quote?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
How it works
Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, then loaded for disposal at a permitted site. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. In winter, the light goes in Howt Green by about 3:50pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
What it costs
What changes the cost:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- How much waste there is
- The survey scope
- Travel and parking
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
Helping us quote
Photos often save us a visit:
- Visible markings
- Where we could park
- A rough size or measurement
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
