Why people call us in Palmer's Green
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Old cold water tanks
- Broken sheets in gardens

At a school such as Brenchley and Matfield Church of England Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Palmer's Green
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Could my house in Palmer's Green contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.
Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
What happens next
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is generally a separate job, so plan it in advance.
Going forward:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Things not to do
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
