Asbestos removal near Crockenhill
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, because the method depends on the material. From old cold water tanks and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes, we cover cement roof sheets, cement soffits and floor tiles and more.
In a village like Crockenhill, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

What happens next
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, so future trades know about it.
Keeping things safe:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Avoid these
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Common questions in Crockenhill
Do you cover Crockenhill from London?
Crockenhill is about 14 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Crockenhill and the area around Swanley station?
Yes. Swanley station is about 0.8 miles north of Crockenhill, and we cover both.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
What happens to the waste?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
