About our asbestos removal in Borden
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. Typical jobs include asbestos garages and outbuildings with cement roofs, including flue pipes, textured coatings and water tanks.
Rural removal near Borden can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
For businesses and landlords in Borden
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you manage or own a block in Borden, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
What affects the price in Borden
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- How many samples are needed
- The size of the job
- What the material is and its state
- Waste quantity and disposal
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Borden questions
Do you cover Borden and the area around Sittingbourne station?
Yes. Sittingbourne station is about 1.4 miles north-east of Borden, and we cover both.
Do you cover small places like Borden?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
What does removal cost?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. Every job gets a written quote.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Do you work in Borden?
Yes, we do: Borden is within the area we cover in Kent. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
