Older buildings in Biddenden Green, near Church of St Michael or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.

How we price asbestos removal
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Disposal costs
- The size of the job
- Material and condition
Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Photos that help
Helpful photos:
- Visible markings
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Street parking nearby
- An overall view
Photos and a postcode help us quote quickly: just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
What it might be made of
Water tanks and flues
A Gas Safe engineer disconnects any gas appliance first.
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.

Questions from Biddenden Green
How far is Biddenden Green from London?
Biddenden Green is about 42 miles from central London, well within our area.
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.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Do I need to move out?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What does removal cost?
Every job is priced individually: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
