Asbestos removal near Ashford
After the job
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it in advance.
Keeping things safe:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell us about parking and access
- Share any survey or test results
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Avoid these
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.

Weighing up your options
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why choose us
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Clear advice on your options
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing

Common reasons for removal jobs in Ashford
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Old cold water tanks
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Garage roof sheets
In a school like Fordingbridge Junior School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
Before booking anyone
- Whether VAT is included
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- What category of work it is
Responsibilities for owners
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Common questions in Ashford
Do you cover small places like Ashford?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Ashford contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It varies: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.

DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
