Parkgate questions
Do you cover Parkgate from London?
We cover Parkgate, about 43 miles from central London.
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
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.
About our asbestos removal in Parkgate
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. People often contact us about old flues and asbestos found during building work, including floor tiles, cement soffits and flue pipes.
In a village like Parkgate, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

For businesses and landlords in Parkgate
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Afterwards
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Share any survey or test results
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Things not to do
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Limits to be aware of
So you know what to expect:
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

- Flue pipes
- Soffits (cement)
