To avoid problems in future:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone

Things not to do

Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Asbestos removal in Trottiscliffe
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. Whether it’s garage roofs and whole garages and floor tiles before a new floor, we deal with cement soffits, flue pipes and cement roof sheets.
In places like Trottiscliffe, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

What else we do in Trottiscliffe
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
Which option is right?
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

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.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
