Asbestos removal near Ditton
Asbestos removal near Ditton
If your builder has found suspect material in Ditton, stop work in that area and keep people away. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. From cement water tanks in lofts and textured coatings, we deal with cement roof sheets, gutters and downpipes and water tanks and more.
In a smaller place like Ditton, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, reached through gardens and drives. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Duty holders and landlords in Ditton
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you manage or own a block in Ditton, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is normally separate
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Materials we see
- Gutters and downpipes
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits (cement)
- Water tanks
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Flue pipes
- Panels and boards
- Bitumen roof felt
- Garage and shed roofs
Materials we deal with
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with power tools.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Ditton
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
Typical jobs in Ditton include:
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Old flues
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Old cold water tanks
In a school like Ditton Infant School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
Before booking anyone
- VAT, clearly stated
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note

- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
What it costs
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos removal:
- Disposal costs
- Licensed or non-licensed

Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Ditton questions
Do you cover Ditton from London?
Ditton is about 28 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Aylesford station?
Yes. Aylesford station is about 0.6 miles north-east of Ditton, and we cover both.
Where does the asbestos go?
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.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are typically non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
