Our asbestos removal in Kent

Removal is planned, not improvised: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed. Typical materials include flue pipes, cement roof sheets and cement soffits, and people typically contact us about Artex ceilings before renovation and loft water tanks.

As each piece comes out, it’s bagged or wrapped and labelled, then loaded for disposal at a permitted site.

  1. Send us the postcode and photos
  2. We check whether it’s licensed, notifiable or non-licensed work
  3. We agree a date and any notification needed
  4. We set up the work area and remove the material
  5. We dispose of the waste legally and send the paperwork

Around Maidstone

Our work in Maidstone takes us near Paper Makers Arms, Maidstone Grammar School and St Philip's Church and the streets around them. You will also find River Len LNR (within half a mile north-east), South Borough Primary School (within half a mile south) and St Augustine Academy (1.2 miles west). The closest station to Maidstone is Maidstone West station, about 0.6 miles north-west of the centre.

Where we work in Kent

Removal jobs across Kent range from garage roofs in Maidstone, Ashford and Canterbury to barns and outbuildings in 767 villages and hamlets. In towns, parking matters; in villages, access. The Kent Downs National Landscape and the High Weald National Landscape are within easy reach of places across Kent, where barns and outbuildings with cement sheeting are a common sight. Around 219 places in Kent are close to the coast, where exposed sites can be windy, which affects outdoor roof work.

Maidstone: For properties on main roads such as the A20 and A26, we plan parking and loading in advance, as main roads can be restricted. If you let property near Maidstone West station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal. Outdoor removal in Maidstone is planned to finish in daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:15pm.

After we have finished in Kent

Keep the consignment note with your property records: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.

  • Let us know where we can park
  • File the consignment note
  • Book the replacement before removal
  • Keep children and pets away on the day

Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.

Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.

What affects the price in Kent

The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:

  • Location, parking and any London charges
  • The quantity or area
  • Waste quantity and disposal
  • The survey scope

Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Photos that help

A few photos can save a site visit:

  • A rough size or measurement
  • Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
  • The access route
  • Cracks or breaks

Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.

Good to know

Worth knowing before you book:

  • Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
  • Making good is normally a separate job
  • Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning

Your options compared

What kind of work is it? The material and the job decide. Our guide explains the difference, with links to HSE’s pages.

Questions to ask before you book

  • For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
  • What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
  • Which areas and materials are covered
  • What paperwork you get

Kent questions

Can I put asbestos in a skip?

Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.

Can I stay at home during removal?

That depends: outdoor jobs don’t normally affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.

Is asbestos dangerous?

It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.

Should I check for asbestos before buying?

Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.

Will I get the price in writing?

Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.

How quickly can you come out?

That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.

Do I get anything in writing afterwards?

That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
