Asbestos removal in Eccles
You do not always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will say so. Typical materials include flue pipes, cement roof sheets and gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are Artex ceilings before renovation and garage roofs and whole garages.
In a village like Eccles, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Helpful guides
Questions from Eccles
Do you work near New Hythe station?
Yes, we cover Eccles and the area towards New Hythe station, about 1.1 miles south-west.
Do you work on properties 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.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Eccles?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The removal method depends on the material.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Looking after things afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
Keeping things safe:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Tell us about parking and access
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Tell us about any previous survey
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
How we price asbestos removal
What drives the price:
- How much waste there is

- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
For rentals close to New Hythe station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.
