Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Asbestos removal for Luxted properties
Removal isn’t always the answer. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll say so. Common materials are textured coatings, water tanks and flue pipes, and typical jobs are loft water tanks and cement flues and gutters.
In areas like Luxted, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Luxted
Do you work near Chelsfield station?
Yes. Chelsfield station is about 3.2 miles north-east of Luxted, and we cover both.
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 asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
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.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.

Afterwards

- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- File the consignment note
