Asbestos removal in Bedgebury Cross
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Typical materials include flue pipes, textured coatings and cement roof sheets, and people usually contact us about debris left from a previous job and outbuildings with cement roofs.
In towns and villages like Bedgebury Cross, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We only recommend work that is needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.

Where asbestos turns up
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, although sound material can often stay.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Artex before plastering
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Finds during refurbishment
- Asbestos garages
Older buildings in Bedgebury Cross, near Christ Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.
Questions to ask before booking
- What paperwork you get
- Suitable insurance for the work
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
Choosing the right option
Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Bedgebury Cross
Could my house in Bedgebury Cross contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Bedgebury Cross?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do I need to move out?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
What it might be made of
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Bitumen and felt
