Your questions about asbestos removal in Little Chart Forstal
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do older homes in Little Chart Forstal have asbestos?
Any home in Little Chart Forstal built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.

First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Little Chart Forstal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the method depends on what the material is.
Does someone need to be there?

Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Asbestos found during building work
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Floor tiles before a new floor
In older buildings across Little Chart Forstal, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan.

Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, which is generally well bound.
DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
