How asbestos removal works in Watt's Cross
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, because the method depends on the material. From broken sheets in gardens and outbuildings with cement roofs, we deal with floor tiles, cement soffits and water tanks and more.
In Watt's Cross, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Watt's Cross: your questions answered
Do you cover Watt's Cross and the area around Hildenborough station?
Yes, we cover Watt's Cross and the area towards Hildenborough station, about 0.6 miles south.
Do you come out to small villages like Watt's Cross?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work in flats?

How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. 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.

What we deal with in Watt's Cross
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
These come up again and again:
- Old cold water tanks
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
In older properties in Watt's Cross, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first.
