What we deal with in Longfield Hill
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across Kent may contain it.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Finds during refurbishment
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
For non-domestic buildings like Istead Rise Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
Questions to ask before you book

Which option is right?
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and disposal still has to be done properly. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Longfield Hill: your questions answered
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 Longfield Hill and the area around Meopham station?
Yes. Meopham station is about 1 mile east of Longfield Hill, and we cover both.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Materials, one by one
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.

Should you do it yourself?
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.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
