What we do and do not cover
Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Making good is normally a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
What we deal with
- Bitumen roof felt
- Soffits (cement)
- Flue pipes
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Garage and shed roofs
- Panels and boards
- Gutters and downpipes
- Water tanks
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
Afterwards
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
A few practical points:
- Book the replacement before removal
- File the consignment note
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
What to avoid
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.

Materials, one by one
Floor tiles
Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
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.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Your questions about asbestos removal in Donkey Street
Do you cover Donkey Street from London?
Donkey Street is about 57 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Westenhanger station?
Yes, we cover Donkey Street and the area towards Westenhanger station, about 3.4 miles north-east.
Do you work in Donkey Street?
Yes. We cover Donkey Street and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
What we deal with in Donkey Street
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Kent may contain it.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Garage roof sheets
- Finds during refurbishment
- Old waste on site
- Old cold water tanks
In older properties in Donkey Street, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
