Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Cement and textured coatings are normally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.

Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.

Where asbestos turns up
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, although sound material can often stay.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Asbestos found during building work
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Artex before plastering
- Old waste on site
In older properties in Boughton under Blean, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first.
Questions to ask before you book
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
Choosing the right option
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Prices and what affects them
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- What the material is and its state
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Parking and access charges
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A photo of the whole area
- A rough size or measurement
- A clear close-up
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is typically a separate job, so plan it in advance.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Book the replacement before removal
- File the consignment note
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
What to avoid
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
