Where asbestos turns up
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Loft water tanks
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Artex ceilings before renovation
At a school such as Borough Green Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- The documents you’ll receive
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
Asbestos removal near Basted
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Typical materials include textured coatings, floor tiles and water tanks, and people generally contact us about outbuildings with cement roofs and floor tiles before a new floor.
In places like Basted, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Materials, one by one
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
FAQs for Basted
Do you work near Borough Green & Wrotham station?
Yes. Borough Green & Wrotham station is about 0.9 miles north of Basted, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Basted homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
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.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Do I need to move out?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Basted?
Every job is priced individually: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
What happens to the waste?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
