About our asbestos removal in Denton
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, with a consignment note for your records. Common materials are cement soffits, cement roof sheets and water tanks, and people usually contact us about finds during refurbishment and textured coatings.
Properties in places like Denton with larger plots may have several outbuildings with cement roofs. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Typical removal jobs in Denton
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
In older properties, we often see:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Asbestos found during building work
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Garage roof sheets
Older buildings in Denton, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Denton
Is asbestos common in Denton homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Denton and the area around Gravesend station?
Yes, we cover Denton and the area towards Gravesend station, about 1.2 miles north-west.
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 can I get a price?
Just 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.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Do you cover Denton?
We do: Denton is within the area we cover in Kent. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
Which option is right?
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
