What else we do in Whitewood
For landlords, agents and businesses
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
The process
We wear disposable coveralls and suitable respirators, and keep everyone else out of the work area. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next. Late-December sunset in Whitewood is about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- We test the material if needed
- We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a quote
- We remove the material with controls to keep fibres down
- The area is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the way to the work area
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material

FAQs for Whitewood
Is asbestos common in Whitewood homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do you work in Whitewood?
We do: our area includes Whitewood and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are normally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
