Asbestos help in Perrywood
Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Perrywood must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Asbestos removal for Perrywood properties
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. Whether it’s sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and old floor tiles and black adhesive, we cover floor tiles, flue pipes and water tanks and more.
In a village like Perrywood, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

What affects the price in Perrywood
When we quote, we look at:
- What the material is and its state
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Disposal costs
- The quantity or area
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.
Sending photos
Photo tips:
- The access route
- A rough size or measurement
- Cracks or breaks
- A wide shot showing where the material is
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
What happens next
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it in advance.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Book the replacement before removal
Things not to do
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
A closer look at the materials
Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
The process
Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, then loaded for disposal at a permitted site. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you before carrying on. In winter, the light goes in Perrywood by about 3:50pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Share photos, the postcode and any survey or test you have
- We confirm what the material is and what category of work it falls into
- A written quote follows, covering method, controls and disposal
- On the agreed date we set up the work area and remove the material carefully
- We clean the area and send the consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
Getting a price
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.

Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Questions from Perrywood
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.
Do you cover small places like Perrywood?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
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.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
