Where asbestos turns up

Typical jobs in Bockhanger include:
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Debris left from a previous job
If you let property near Ashford International station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.

Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Bockhanger must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
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.
Afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
Once we’re done:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Let us know where we can park
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
What to avoid
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Limits to be aware of
Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
