About our asbestos removal in Chiddingstone Hoath
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. We often deal with textured coatings, gutters and downpipes and cement roof sheets, and people typically contact us about vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and old waste on site.
In a village like Chiddingstone Hoath, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

Duty holders and landlords in Chiddingstone Hoath
If you manage or own a block in Chiddingstone Hoath, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.

Materials we deal with
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, which is normally well bound.
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Which option is right?
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, rather than halting work when it’s found. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
Why people choose us
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
