Asbestos removal for Biddenden
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
About our asbestos removal in Biddenden
In homes, in Biddenden as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. Work on these is typically non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, which still means proper controls. People often contact us about vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and asbestos found during building work, including cement roof sheets, flue pipes and gutters and downpipes.
In Biddenden, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Biddenden
Do you work near Headcorn station?
Yes. Headcorn station is about 3.5 miles north of Biddenden, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Biddenden have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Biddenden may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How can I get a price?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
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.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
What does removal cost?
There’s no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
What we deal with in Biddenden
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Typical jobs in Biddenden include:
- Old flues
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Asbestos garages
- Old waste on site
For non-domestic buildings like John Mayne Church of England Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
Before booking anyone

Sending photos
Helpful photos:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Labels, if any
- A close-up from a safe distance
- A rough size or measurement
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
After the job
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, for anyone working there later.
Going forward:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Let us know where we can park
- Share any survey or test results
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Things not to do
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
