About our asbestos removal in Bekesbourne
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 jobs include loft water tanks and old floor tiles and black adhesive, involving water tanks, cement roof sheets and textured coatings.
Rural removal near Bekesbourne can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Materials, one by one

Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.

Choosing the right option
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 in the way of work, removal is generally right. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Bekesbourne
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Old cold water tanks
In older buildings across Bekesbourne, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.
