Asbestos removal near Challock
Licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence. We will explain what applies to your job in Challock. Typical materials include water tanks, floor tiles and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and broken sheets in gardens.

Choosing the right option
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why choose us
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Across London and the South East
- Work done to the regulations
- Clear written quotes
See our prices page and our cost guide.
Where asbestos turns up
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Old flues
- Old waste on site
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Asbestos found during building work
In a school like Challock Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
Comparing quotes
- Whether the job needs notifying
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed

Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
For businesses and landlords in Challock
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
The process
Once removal is finished, we clean and check the area, and we talk you through what was done. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we will do before we start. Outdoor removal in Challock is planned to finish in daylight: that means by about 3:50pm in December, or about 9:15pm in June.

Challock questions
Do you cover Challock from London?
We cover Challock, about 46 miles from central London.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
