Asbestos removal for Barnehurst
Asbestos removal for Barnehurst properties
We remove asbestos from homes, rented property and commercial buildings across Barnehurst: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Every job is planned to HSE guidance, with the waste taken to a permitted site. Common materials are floor tiles, cement roof sheets and gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are old cold water tanks and Artex before plastering.
In Barnehurst, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so access and parking are planned carefully. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

After we have finished in Barnehurst
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
After we’ve finished:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Book the replacement before removal
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Tell us about parking and access
Don’ts
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Barnehurst must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Options to consider in Barnehurst
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why choose us
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Identify first, remove only when needed

Materials we deal with
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, generally tightly bound.

Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
What we do and don’t cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate

Why people call us in Barnehurst
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, although sound material can often stay.
In older properties, we often see:
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Asbestos found during building work
- Debris left from a previous job
- Old cold water tanks
For properties on main roads such as the A2000, we plan parking and loading in advance.
Questions to ask before booking
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Whether VAT is included
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- Suitable insurance for the work
Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

Barnehurst questions
Can you work in Barnehurst with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Could my house in Barnehurst contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.

Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
