Your questions about asbestos removal in Pollhill
Do you work near Harrietsham station?
Yes. Harrietsham station is about 0.5 miles north-east of Pollhill, and we cover both.
Do you cover Pollhill from London?
We cover Pollhill, about 37 miles from central London.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Do you work in Pollhill?
Yes. We cover Pollhill and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you run a business from older premises in Pollhill, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Which option is right?
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and disposal still has to be done properly. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.

- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Identify first, remove only when needed

Where asbestos turns up
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Cement flues and gutters
- Old waste on site
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Floor tiles before a new floor
In older buildings across Pollhill, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.
