Pett Bottom questions
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Could my house in Pett Bottom contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Pett Bottom can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
How do I get a quote?

Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.

- Tell us about any previous survey
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Let us know where we can park
- Photos of the material and the route in help
What to avoid
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
