About our asbestos removal in Chislehurst
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. From loft water tanks and old waste on site, we deal with gutters and downpipes, flue pipes and water tanks and more.
In areas like Chislehurst, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Common questions in Chislehurst
Do you work near Chislehurst station?
Yes. Chislehurst station is about 0.7 miles south-west of Chislehurst, and we cover both.
Do you work on properties 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.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Chislehurst
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Old flues
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Debris left from a previous job
In older properties in Chislehurst, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.
