Windmill Hill: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Windmill Hill homes?
If your home in Windmill Hill was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Gravesend station?
Yes, we cover Windmill Hill and the area towards Gravesend station, about 0.5 miles north-west.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
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.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Sometimes: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
What we deal with in Windmill Hill
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Materials found mid-project
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
For rentals close to Gravesend station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.

Doing 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.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
