Asbestos removal near Fir Toll
What we deal with in Fir Toll
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Kent may contain it.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Debris left from a previous job
- Asbestos garages
In a school like Pluckley Church of England Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
What your quote should include
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- Which areas and materials are covered
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- Which laboratory analyses samples
How asbestos removal works in Fir Toll
Higher-risk materials such as pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence. We will tell you if your job in Fir Toll falls into that category. Common materials are flue pipes, textured coatings and cement roof sheets, and people normally contact us about floor tiles before a new floor and broken sheets in gardens.
In Fir Toll, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Common questions in Fir Toll
Do older homes in Fir Toll have asbestos?
If your home in Fir Toll was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Fir Toll and the area around Pluckley station?
Yes. Pluckley station is about 0.8 miles south of Fir Toll, and we cover both.
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 help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
How it works
Unexpected materials mean we pause and discuss, rather than carrying on regardless. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and use controls to keep dust down. Outdoor removal in Fir Toll is planned to finish in daylight: that means by about 3:50pm in December, or about 9:15pm in June.

- If it hasn’t been identified, we sample it first
