Asbestos removal in Coombe
Removal is planned, not improvised: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed, before anyone starts. We often deal with floor tiles, flue pipes and water tanks, and people generally contact us about asbestos found during building work and floor tiles before a new floor.
In a village like Coombe, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

FAQs for Coombe
Do you cover small places like Coombe?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Coombe and the area around Sandwich station?
Yes, we cover Coombe and the area towards Sandwich station, about 2.1 miles east.
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.
How do I get a quote?
Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do you cover Coombe?
Yes, Coombe is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
What happens next
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it before the removal date.
Some practical advice:
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
What to avoid
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Why people call us in Coombe
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, though in good condition it does not always need to go.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Asbestos garages
- Old cold water tanks
- Artex before plastering
At a school such as Ash Cartwright and Kelsey Church of England Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
