About our asbestos removal in Ashford Common
Removal is planned, not improvised: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed, before anyone starts. Typical materials include floor tiles, textured coatings and water tanks, and people typically contact us about loft water tanks and materials found mid-project.
Homes in Ashford Common with bigger gardens may have several outbuildings with cement roofs, which can often be dealt with together. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Common questions in Ashford Common
Could my house in Ashford Common contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Ashford Common from London?
We cover Ashford Common, about 16 miles from central London.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
