Your questions about asbestos removal in Underling Green

Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?

Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.

How far is Underling Green from London?

Underling Green is about 34 miles from central London, well within our area.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.

Can you advise before I buy a property?

Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.

Do you cover Underling Green?

Yes. We cover Underling Green and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Tell us the postcode and what you need.

Do you work in flats?

We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.

Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?

Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The right method depends on what the material is.

Could my home contain asbestos?

If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.

Should you do it yourself?

Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Prices and what affects them

What changes the cost:

  • Access to the area
  • Parking and access charges
  • Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed

Photos that help

A few photos can save a site visit:

  • An overall view
  • An idea of size
  • Where we could park
  • The access route

If you have a survey or test result, include it when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.

For businesses and landlords in Underling Green

Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.

Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Underling Green

Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.

Common situations in older properties include:

  • Old waste on site
  • Outbuildings with cement roofs
  • Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
  • Cement flues and gutters

If you let property near Marden station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.

What to look for in a quote

  • Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
  • What is not included
  • Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
  • VAT, clearly stated

Choosing an asbestos contractor

  • Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
  • Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
  • Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
  • Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
