Doing it yourself?
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.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Rhodes Minnis, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
What it might be made of
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with sanders or grinders.
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Common questions in Rhodes Minnis
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings 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 Rhodes Minnis contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you work in Rhodes Minnis?
Yes, we do: Rhodes Minnis is within the area we cover in Kent. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
