Asbestos removal in Chevening
Asbestos removal for Chevening properties
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, with a consignment note for your records. We often deal with water tanks, textured coatings and flue pipes, and typical jobs are vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and garage roof sheets.
In Chevening, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
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.
Chevening questions
Do you come out to small villages like Chevening?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover Chevening?
We do: Chevening is within the area we cover in Kent. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally aren’t licensed.
What does removal cost?
There is no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The quantity or area
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Material and condition
Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Sending photos
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A clear close-up
- The parking area
- Damaged areas
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you’re planning. Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.

Why people call us in Chevening
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Loft water tanks
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Asbestos found during building work
- Garage roof sheets
For rentals close to Dunton Green station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you run a business from older premises in Chevening, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Which option is right?
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
