Asbestos help in Bonnington
Asbestos removal for Bonnington properties
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Common materials are water tanks, cement roof sheets and floor tiles, and people usually contact us about outbuildings with cement roofs and textured coatings.
In a village like Bonnington, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

FAQs for Bonnington
Do you cover small places like Bonnington?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Bonnington homes?
If your home in Bonnington was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Materials, one by one
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with power tools.
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Step by step
We start by setting up and segregating the work area, then keep the material damp throughout. The work area is kept clear while we’re working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. In winter, the light goes in Bonnington by about 3:50pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We identify the material and work out whether the job is licensed, notifiable or non-licensed
- We quote in writing, including the waste
- We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can

Bonnington properties and asbestos removal
Bonnington is about 5 miles south-east of Ashford, in Kent. Bonnington has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. We work in all 922 towns and villages across Kent. We work right across the region, from Bonnington to Canterbury (15 miles away).
Older buildings in Bonnington, near Church of St Rumwold or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan. Landlords near Ham Street station often time removal for when a property is empty. Bonnington is within about 7 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape; removing asbestos from rural buildings there follows the same rules, with access across yards and fields to plan.
We carry out removal jobs all over TN25. Local streets include Cherry Orchard Lane and Bourne Road; we cover every one. For properties just outside Bonnington, we cover Aldington (1 mile north-east), Clap Hill (1 mile north-east), Aldington Frith (1 mile north-west), Stonestreet Green (1 mile north-east) and Postling Green (1 mile east).

How we price asbestos removal
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos removal:
- How much waste there is
- Access to the area
- The category of work
- Travel and parking
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- A clear close-up
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Where we could park
- Approximate dimensions
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If your business premises in Bonnington were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.

What we deal with in Bonnington
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, although sound material can often stay.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Textured coatings
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Floor tiles before a new floor
For non-domestic buildings like Aldington Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
