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.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Weighing up your options
A test before removal can save money: if the coating is clear, ordinary methods can be used. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Why us?
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations

What’s included, and what is not
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Plastering and making good are generally separate jobs
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.

Common questions in Biddenden Green
Do you come out to small villages like Biddenden Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Biddenden Green from London?
Biddenden Green is about 42 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
You can, if it’s intact: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. A test will tell you.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
