About our asbestos removal in Appledore
Asbestos removal in Appledore covers homes, rental property and workplaces: garage roofs, flues, water tanks, Artex and floor tiles among them. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. From finds during refurbishment and old waste on site, we cover flue pipes, cement soffits and cement roof sheets.
Rural removal near Appledore can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

Common questions in Appledore
Do you work near Appledore (Kent) station?
Yes. Appledore (Kent) station is about 1.3 miles east of Appledore, and we cover both.
Do you cover Appledore from London?
We cover Appledore, about 50 miles from central London.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
What happens to the waste?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Where asbestos turns up
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Textured coatings
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Garage roof sheets
In older properties in Appledore, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first.

Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
