Asbestos removal for Finglesham properties
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, with a consignment note for your records. From debris left from a previous job and Artex ceilings before renovation, we deal with cement roof sheets, water tanks and flue pipes.
In towns and villages like Finglesham, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you. We plan outdoor jobs in Finglesham to finish before dark: that means by about 3:50pm in December, or about 9:15pm in June.

FAQs for Finglesham
Do you cover small places like Finglesham?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do older homes in Finglesham have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Finglesham can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Weighing up your options
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, rather than halting work when it’s found. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Why people call us in Finglesham
Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Cement flues and gutters
- Loft water tanks
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Broken sheets in gardens
In older properties in Finglesham, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.
