Asbestos removal near Congelow
Asbestos removal in Congelow
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. From old waste on site and cement water tanks in lofts, we deal with floor tiles, cement roof sheets and textured coatings and more.
In a village like Congelow, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you run a business from older premises in Congelow, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Floor tiles
Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.
How we price asbestos removal
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos removal:
- The category of work
- The type of material and its condition
- How many samples are needed
- How much waste there is
Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
What to photograph
Helpful photos:
- Where we could park
- Labels, if any
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Damaged areas
For a quote, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, the material and some photos.
How it works
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, then keep the material damp throughout. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you. Outdoor removal in Congelow is planned to finish in daylight: that means by about 3:50pm in December, or about 9:15pm in June.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- If it hasn’t been identified, we sample it first
- We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a quote

What we deal with in Congelow
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so buildings across Kent built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
These are some of the things we deal with in Congelow:
- Loft water tanks
- Old flues
- Old waste on site
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
In older buildings across Congelow, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.
What your quote should include
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Whether the job needs notifying
- What isn’t included
After the job
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, because the plan may need to change.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Share any survey or test results
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.

Questions from Congelow
Do you come out to small villages like Congelow?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work near Yalding station?
Yes. Yalding station is about 1 mile north-west of Congelow, and we cover both.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Congelow?
Every job is priced individually: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
