Asbestos help in Kippington
Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Kippington must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Asbestos removal for Kippington properties
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Typical materials include gutters and downpipes, floor tiles and flue pipes, and typical jobs are old sheds and coal bunkers and floor tiles before a new floor.
In a smaller place like Kippington, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, with access through the garden or drive. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Kippington properties and asbestos removal
Kippington is about 1 mile south of Sevenoaks, in Kent. Kippington has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. We work in 922 places in Kent. Our area stretches from Kippington to Crawley (about 19 miles away).

Common reasons for removal jobs in Kippington
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Garage roof sheets
- Asbestos found during building work
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
In older buildings across Kippington, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.
What your quote should include
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork

- The method and controls
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
Limits to be aware of
So you know what to expect:
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor

DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

Kippington: your questions answered
How far is Kippington from London?
Kippington is about 20 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings 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 you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Kippington?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
