How asbestos removal works in Aldington
You do not always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will tell you honestly when that is the case. Whether it’s materials found mid-project and old floor tiles and black adhesive, we cover floor tiles, flue pipes and gutters and downpipes and more.
Rural removal near Aldington can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Aldington
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Old cold water tanks
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Floor tiles before a new floor
In a school like Aldington Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Whether VAT is included
Looking after things afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is usually a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- File the consignment note
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
What to avoid
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.

What affects the price in Aldington
We base our quote on:
- Disposal costs
- Material and condition
- The category of work
- How much there is
When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Sending photos

- A rough size or measurement
- Labels, if any
- The parking area
- A clear close-up
To get a quote, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you manage or own a block in Aldington, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Which option is right?
Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Why us?
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Reports and results you can share
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone

Your questions about asbestos removal in Aldington
Do you cover Aldington from London?
Aldington is about 53 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Aldington and the area around Ham Street station?
Yes, we cover Aldington and the area towards Ham Street station, about 4.1 miles south-west.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Limits to be aware of
The usual limits are:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Making good is normally a separate job
