Asbestos removal for Bexon
How asbestos removal works in Bexon
You don’t always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll say so. From broken sheets in gardens and loft water tanks, we deal with gutters and downpipes, floor tiles and cement soffits.
In a village like Bexon, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

Materials we deal with
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, which is usually well bound.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Bexon
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Typical jobs in Bexon include:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Materials found mid-project
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Garage roofs and whole garages
In a school like Bredgar Church of England Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.

Questions from Bexon
Could my house in Bexon contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It varies: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
After we have finished in Bexon
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is generally a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Share any survey or test results
What to avoid
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
What it costs
Prices vary with:
- How easy it is to reach
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The type of material and its condition
- Location, parking and any London charges
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
