About our asbestos removal in Budds
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, because the method depends on the material. Whether it’s vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and old flues, we cover floor tiles, textured coatings and flue pipes and more.
In a village like Budds, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Typical removal jobs in Budds
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:
- Artex before plastering
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Materials found mid-project
If you let property near Hildenborough station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.

Which option is right?
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.

Budds: your questions answered
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you come out to small villages like Budds?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Budds?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. We quote each job individually.
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Responsibilities for owners
For managing agents and freeholders in Budds, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
If you run a business from older premises in Budds, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Afterwards
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Share any survey or test results
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
What to avoid
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
