How asbestos removal works in Borough Green
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. We often deal with floor tiles, cement soffits and gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are old cold water tanks and Artex before plastering.
Homes in Borough Green with bigger gardens can have more than one cement-roofed building, which can often be dealt with together. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Step by step
Unexpected materials mean we pause and discuss, rather than carrying on regardless. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions. In winter, the light goes in Borough Green by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Tell us what needs removing and send photos
- If it hasn’t been identified, we sample it first
- We plan the job and send a written quote
- We remove the material with controls to keep fibres down
- We clean up, dispose of the waste legally and send the consignment note
How to prepare
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Find any old asbestos reports

Helpful guides
Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Afterwards
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Don’ts
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Why people call us in Borough Green
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Artex before plastering
- Broken sheets in gardens

For non-domestic buildings like Borough Green Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
