Asbestos removal near Ashford
Removal isn’t always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll say so. Common materials are flue pipes, cement soffits and floor tiles, and typical jobs are flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and finds during refurbishment.
Houses and local businesses around Ashford often have asbestos cement in roofs and outbuildings that need removing before work. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Where asbestos turns up
Old materials break down over time: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is often when people decide to remove them.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Asbestos found during building work
- Artex ceilings before renovation
In older properties in Ashford, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.

DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Your options compared
Licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed? It depends on what the material is and what’s being done. Our guide explains the difference, with links to HSE’s pages. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

The process
Materials are released carefully and removed whole where possible, never broken up, dropped or cut with power tools. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. Late-December sunset in Ashford is about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
