About our asbestos removal in Bidborough
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is typically non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. People often contact us about materials found mid-project and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles, including cement roof sheets, gutters and downpipes and textured coatings.
In Bidborough, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Typical removal jobs in Bidborough
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
In older properties, we often see:
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Materials found mid-project
- Old waste on site
In a school like Southborough CofE Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the job needs notifying
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- The method and controls
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
Which option is right?
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.
Why choose us
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it

A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Floor tiles
Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.
Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Common questions in Bidborough
Do you work near Leigh (Kent) station?
Yes. Leigh (Kent) station is about 2.1 miles north-west of Bidborough, and we cover both.
How far is Bidborough from London?
Bidborough is about 27 miles from central London, well within our area.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that won’t be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Bidborough?
Every job is priced individually: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.

Looking after things afterwards
File the waste paperwork safely: it proves legal disposal.
Keeping things safe:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Book the replacement before removal
Don’ts
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
