How asbestos removal works in Bickley
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 floor tiles before a new floor and textured coatings, involving floor tiles, flue pipes and water tanks.
In London neighbourhoods like Bickley, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Your options compared
Licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed? It depends on what the material is and what’s being done. Our guide explains the difference, with links to HSE’s pages. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

FAQs for Bickley
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you work near Bickley station?
Yes. Bickley station is close to the centre of Bickley, and we cover the whole area.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
