- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Visible markings
- An idea of size
- Where we could park
You will get a written quote. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
How asbestos removal works in Bexley
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Whether it’s cement flues and gutters and floor tiles before a new floor, we deal with water tanks, cement roof sheets and flue pipes.
Removal jobs around Bexley often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Why people call us in Bexley
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Garage roof sheets
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Finds during refurbishment
- Loft water tanks
For non-domestic buildings like Old Bexley Church of England School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
What your quote should include
- Suitable insurance for the work
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Any exclusions
- Which laboratory analyses samples
Materials, one by one
Floor tiles

Your questions about asbestos removal in Bexley
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is asbestos common in Bexley homes?
If your home in Bexley was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
What does removal cost?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. We quote each job individually.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Step by step
As each piece comes out, it’s bagged or wrapped and labelled, ready to go to a permitted site. It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions. We plan outdoor jobs in Bexley to finish before dark: in late December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:20pm.

Looking after things afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Book the replacement before removal
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
What to avoid
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
What we do and don’t cover
The usual limits are:
- 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
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
What we deal with
- Panels and boards
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
- Flue pipes
- Bitumen roof felt
- Water tanks
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Gutters and downpipes
- Soffits (cement)
DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
