Asbestos removal near Bredhurst
Every removal job in Bredhurst is planned first: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. Common materials are textured coatings, gutters and downpipes and flue pipes, and people generally contact us about textured coatings and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes.
Rural removal near Bredhurst can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Floor tiles

DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Where asbestos turns up
Sometimes damage forces the issue.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Artex before plastering
For non-domestic buildings like Deanwood Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

Bredhurst questions
Do older homes in Bredhurst have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
How can I get a price?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
After we’ve finished in Bredhurst
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, because the plan may need to change.

Things not to do
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Responsibilities for owners
