Asbestos removal for Addington
Asbestos removal in Addington
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, which still means proper controls. People often contact us about old cold water tanks and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles, including cement roof sheets, textured coatings and flue pipes.
In places like Addington, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

What happens next
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Let us know where we can park
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- File the consignment note
Don’ts
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.

Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Helpful guides
For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Your options compared
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why choose us
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Clear advice on your options
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory

Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
How we price asbestos removal
The cost depends on:
- Disposal costs
- How easy it is to reach
- How many samples are needed
- The size of the job
Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- The access route
- Cracks or breaks
- Labels, if any
- Approximate dimensions
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.

Addington: your questions answered
Do you work near West Malling station?
Yes. West Malling station is about 1.8 miles south-east of Addington, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Addington have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Addington may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What happens to the waste?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the consignment note.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
