In Pembles Cross, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Where asbestos turns up
Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is when removal comes up.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Cement flues and gutters
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Broken sheets in gardens
In older properties in Pembles Cross, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.
What your quote should include
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Which areas and materials are covered
- If the price includes VAT
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How much there is
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- What the material is and its state
Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

Common questions in Pembles Cross
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Could my house in Pembles Cross contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Pembles Cross may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Often it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What does licensed work mean?
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.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Do you cover Pembles Cross?
Yes. We cover Pembles Cross and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
