Asbestos removal for Dunk's Green
About our asbestos removal in Dunk's Green
Removal isn’t always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will say so. Common materials are textured coatings, flue pipes and cement soffits, and typical jobs are loft water tanks and old floor tiles and black adhesive.
In places like Dunk's Green, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
What happens
Materials are released carefully and removed whole where possible, never broken up, dropped or cut with power tools. Parking close by makes the day easier. Outdoor removal in Dunk's Green is planned to finish in daylight: that means by about 3:55pm in December, or about 9:20pm in June.

Where asbestos turns up
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Asbestos found during building work
- Old waste on site
- Old flues
- Artex before plastering
Older buildings in Dunk's Green, near Plaxtol Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.

Which option is right?
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Common questions in Dunk's Green
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover Dunk's Green from London?
We cover Dunk's Green, about 24 miles from central London.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Dunk's Green?
There is no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
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, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.

Responsibilities for owners
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Dunk's Green, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
If your business premises in Dunk's Green were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
After we’ve finished in Dunk's Green
File the waste paperwork safely: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
Keeping things safe:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Let us know where we can park
What to avoid
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
