FAQs for Tunbridge Hill
Do you cover small places like Tunbridge Hill?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Tunbridge Hill contain asbestos?
If your home in Tunbridge Hill was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Cement and textured coatings are typically non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.

- We confirm what the material is and what category of work it falls into
- We quote in writing, including the waste

Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
What we deal with in Tunbridge Hill
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, though in good condition it does not always need to go.
These are some of the things we deal with in Tunbridge Hill:
- Asbestos garages
- Artex before plastering
- Loft water tanks
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
For non-domestic buildings like The Hundred of Hoo Academy, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate

If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
