How asbestos removal works in Frittenden
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, and you get the waste paperwork. Whether it’s old cold water tanks and old flues, we deal with cement roof sheets, textured coatings and gutters and downpipes and more.
Rural removal near Frittenden can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Questions from Frittenden
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Could my house in Frittenden contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Frittenden can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.

A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with power tools.
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
After we’ve finished in Frittenden
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
Some practical advice:
- Share any survey or test results
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Photos of the material and the route in help
Things not to do
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If your business premises in Frittenden were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
