About our asbestos removal in Smeeth
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, with a consignment note for your records. Typical materials include gutters and downpipes, textured coatings and flue pipes, and people normally contact us about flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and loft water tanks.
In a village like Smeeth, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Smeeth: your questions answered
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 Smeeth?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work in Smeeth?
Yes, Smeeth is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.

If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
