Need asbestos removal in Goddington?
Goddington: your questions answered
Do older homes in Goddington have asbestos?
Any home in Goddington built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
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.
Asbestos removal for Goddington properties

What happens
As each piece comes out, it’s bagged or wrapped and labelled, ready to go to a permitted site. The work area is kept clear while we’re working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. In winter, the light goes in Goddington by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We identify the material and work out whether the job is licensed, notifiable or non-licensed
- A written quote follows, covering method, controls and disposal
- We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can
- We clean the area and send the consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away on the day
