Asbestos removal for Brabourne Lees properties

Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, and you get the waste paperwork. We often deal with textured coatings, cement roof sheets and floor tiles, and typical jobs are broken sheets in gardens and textured coatings.

In towns and villages like Brabourne Lees, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We only recommend work that is needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

What happens

At the end, the work area is cleaned with suitable methods and checked, and we talk you through what was done. We begin by confirming exactly what we’re doing.

  1. Describe the material and send pictures
  2. If it hasn’t been identified, we sample it first
  3. We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a quote
  4. On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can
  5. The area is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with paperwork

Preparing for the visit

Related guides

Doing it yourself?

Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

What it might be made of

Insulating board and lagging

Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.

Asbestos cement

Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.

Common questions in Brabourne Lees

Do you cover Brabourne Lees and the area around Westenhanger station?

Yes. Westenhanger station is about 3.4 miles south-east of Brabourne Lees, and we cover both.

Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?

Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.

Do I need to move out?

Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.

Does asbestos always have to come out?

Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.

Where does the asbestos go?

It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you receive the consignment note.

How much does asbestos removal cost in Brabourne Lees?

There is no fixed price: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.

Can I remove asbestos myself?

HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

Good to know

Before you book, note that:

  • Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date

What we deal with in Brabourne Lees

  • Garage roof sheets
  • Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
  • Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
  • Debris left from a previous job

For rentals close to Westenhanger station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.
