Asbestos removal near Allington
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. We often deal with floor tiles, cement soffits and gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and old cold water tanks.
Homes in Allington with bigger gardens can have more than one cement-roofed building, which can often be dealt with together. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Where asbestos turns up
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Typical jobs in Allington include:
- Old cold water tanks
- Artex before plastering
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
At a school such as Allington Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.

Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Looking after things afterwards
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
To avoid problems in future:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Tell us about parking and access
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
Things not to do
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.

FAQs for Allington
Do older homes in Allington have asbestos?
Any home in Allington built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Allington and the area around Barming station?
Yes. Barming station is about 0.8 miles west of Allington, and we cover both.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.

What it might be made of
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with power tools.
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
