What it might be made of
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.
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
What else we do in Breach
For businesses and landlords in Breach
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Breach, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

Breach questions
Do you cover Breach and the area around Snowdown station?
Yes. Snowdown station is about 3.6 miles north-east of Breach, and we cover both.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
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.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can I stay at home during removal?
For outdoor jobs, you can typically stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Breach?
There’s no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
After the job
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Let us know where we can park
- File the consignment note
- Book the replacement before removal
Avoid these
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.

When we quote, we look at:
- Parking and access charges
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space

Photos that help
For a quick quote, include:
- Cracks or breaks
- An idea of size
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch

Good to know
Worth knowing before booking:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.

Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

Helpful guides
Choosing the right option
Remove, or leave and manage? 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 guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
