Asbestos removal for Bredgar
Bredgar: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Bredgar?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
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 DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
About our asbestos removal in Bredgar
In homes, in Bredgar as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. Work on these is usually non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, which still means proper controls. Typical materials include cement soffits, floor tiles and water tanks, and typical jobs are old floor tiles and black adhesive and asbestos found during building work.
In Bredgar, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Bredgar
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, although sound material can often stay.
In older properties, we often see:
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Cement flues and gutters
- Artex before plastering
- Asbestos found during building work
Landlords near Sittingbourne station often time removal for when a property is empty.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether VAT is included
- Which areas and materials are covered
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
Which option is right?
Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Why choose us
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- No removal until we know what it is
- Across London and the South East

Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
After we’ve finished in Bredgar
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, as the method may need to change.
Keeping things safe:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- File the consignment note
Avoid these
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
