Asbestos removal in Bexleyheath
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, with a consignment note for your records. Typical jobs include old flues and old sheds and coal bunkers, including cement roof sheets, floor tiles and water tanks.
In towns and villages like Bexleyheath, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Bexleyheath
Could my house in Bexleyheath contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Bexleyheath can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Bexleyheath station?
Yes, we cover Bexleyheath, including the streets around Bexleyheath station.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Where does the asbestos go?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site, and you receive the consignment note.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.

For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
After we’ve finished in Bexleyheath
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, because the plan may need to change.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Let us know where we can park
Don’ts
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
The scope of asbestos removal
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
How it works
We unfix materials and take them out in whole pieces where we can, never broken up, dropped or cut with power tools. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away. In winter, the light goes in Bexleyheath by about 3:50pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

- We dispose of the waste legally and send the paperwork
Before we arrive
