Asbestos removal for Bishopstone properties
Removal isn’t always the answer. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll say so. From materials found mid-project and cement water tanks in lofts, we deal with gutters and downpipes, floor tiles and water tanks.
In towns and villages like Bishopstone, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, with access through the garden or drive. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Questions from Bishopstone
How far is Bishopstone from London?
Bishopstone is about 55 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Bishopstone have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
What does removal cost?
Every job is priced individually: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you work in Bishopstone?
Yes. We cover Bishopstone and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.

Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
The scope of asbestos removal
So you know what to expect:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is normally separate
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we see
- Artex and textured coatings
- Gutters and downpipes
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Flue pipes
- Bitumen roof felt
- Garage and shed roofs
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Water tanks
- Panels and boards
- Soffits (cement)
Looking after things afterwards
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
After we have finished:
- Share any survey or test results
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Book the replacement before removal
Things not to do
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
