Asbestos removal for Foxendown properties
Removal isn’t always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll tell you honestly when that’s the case. Typical jobs include flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and old floor tiles and black adhesive, including cement soffits, textured coatings and cement roof sheets.
In a village like Foxendown, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.

Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.

We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
What we deal with in Foxendown
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so buildings across Kent built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Old flues
- Finds during refurbishment
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Broken sheets in gardens
In older buildings across Foxendown, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan.
Before you book anyone
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- Whether VAT is included
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- What paperwork you get
What it costs
Every quote reflects:
- The quantity or area
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Access to the area
- Travel and parking
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
What to photograph
The most useful photos are:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A close-up from a safe distance
- A photo of the whole area

What it might be made of
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, which is usually well bound.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If your business premises in Foxendown were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.

Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
After the job
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, as the method may need to change.
To avoid problems in future:
- File the consignment note
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Share any survey or test results
What to avoid
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
The process
Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, then loaded for disposal at a permitted site. Parking close by makes the day easier, so let us know about any restrictions. Late-December sunset in Foxendown is about 3:50pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Tell us what needs removing and send photos
- If it hasn’t been identified, we sample it first
- We plan the job and send a written quote
- On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can
- We clean up, dispose of the waste legally and send the consignment note
How to prepare
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Ensure we can get to the area
How to get a quote
Include any existing survey or test when you call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form; it helps us quote accurately.
