About our asbestos removal in Benenden
Higher-risk materials such as pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence. We will tell you if your job in Benenden falls into that category. Common materials are flue pipes, floor tiles and water tanks, and typical jobs are garage roofs and whole garages and cement water tanks in lofts.
Rural removal near Benenden can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Materials, one by one
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
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
Benenden questions
Could my house in Benenden 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.
Do you come out to small villages like Benenden?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Benenden?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.

Yes. We cover Benenden and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Send us the postcode for a quote.
The scope of asbestos removal
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and does not cover:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Your options compared
Should it come out? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
