Asbestos removal for Aperfield
Asbestos removal near Aperfield
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, because the method depends on the material. From old floor tiles and black adhesive and textured coatings, we cover textured coatings, cement roof sheets and floor tiles.
In Aperfield, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so access and parking are planned carefully. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Loft water tanks
- Broken sheets in gardens
At a school such as Biggin Hill Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Aperfield
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?

Do you work in Aperfield despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.

HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
