Why people call us in Chainhurst
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Asbestos garages
- Loft water tanks
- Asbestos found during building work
- Old flues
Landlords near Marden station often time removal for when a property is empty.
Comparing quotes

How asbestos removal works in Chainhurst
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. Common materials are cement soffits, textured coatings and cement roof sheets, and people generally contact us about finds during refurbishment and debris left from a previous job.
In Chainhurst, 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.

Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
After the job
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is normally a separate job, so plan it in advance.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Things not to do
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.

Which option is right?
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why us?
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Reports and results you can share
- Identify first, remove only when needed
