Asbestos removal for Biggin Hill properties
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. Typical jobs include cement flues and gutters and finds during refurbishment, involving floor tiles, water tanks and textured coatings.
In London neighbourhoods like Biggin Hill, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Typical removal jobs in Biggin Hill

Before you book anyone
- Whether VAT is included

- Suitable insurance for the work
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
Which option is right?
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Records for your files
- Domestic and commercial work
- Waste paperwork for every removal

Common questions in Biggin Hill
Do you cover Biggin Hill and the area around Woldingham station?
Yes. Woldingham station is about 3.8 miles south-west of Biggin Hill, and we cover both.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
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.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs do not typically affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
