Asbestos removal in Park Wood
About our asbestos removal in Park Wood
Every removal job in Park Wood is planned first: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed, before anyone starts. Whether it’s flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and garage roof sheets, we deal with textured coatings, water tanks and cement soffits.
In a smaller place like Park Wood, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, reached through gardens and drives. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

For businesses and landlords in Park Wood
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you run a business from older premises in Park Wood, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Park Wood questions
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.
Is asbestos common in Park Wood homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Park Wood can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Typical removal jobs in Park Wood
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Debris left from a previous job
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Old cold water tanks
For non-domestic buildings like Tree Tops Primary Academy, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

DIY and asbestos
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.
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.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- 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
