About our asbestos removal in Bishopsbourne
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Typical jobs include finds during refurbishment and floor tiles before a new floor, involving cement soffits, cement roof sheets and flue pipes.
In a village like Bishopsbourne, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

How we price asbestos removal
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- The quantity or area
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- What the material is and its state
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- How we’d reach it
- Damaged areas
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- An idea of size
To get a quote, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
FAQs for Bishopsbourne
Do you come out to small villages like Bishopsbourne?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Bishopsbourne and the area around Bekesbourne station?
Yes. Bekesbourne station is about 2.2 miles north of Bishopsbourne, and we cover both.
What happens to the waste?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Bishopsbourne
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, although sound material can often stay.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Cement flues and gutters
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Asbestos garages
In older buildings across Bishopsbourne, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.

- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Any exclusions
- The documents you’ll receive
What happens next
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, so future trades know about it.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Don’ts
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Which option is right?
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and disposal still has to be done properly. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
