Asbestos removal in Grafty Green
Typical removal jobs in Grafty Green
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Artex before plastering
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
In older buildings across Grafty Green, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan.
Before booking anyone
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Suitable insurance for the work
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
About our asbestos removal in Grafty Green
You don’t always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll say so. We often deal with water tanks, cement soffits and flue pipes, and people normally contact us about Artex ceilings before renovation and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos.
In Grafty Green, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

For businesses and landlords in Grafty Green

FAQs for Grafty Green
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you work near Lenham station?
Yes, we cover Grafty Green and the area towards Lenham station, about 2.1 miles north-east.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
How do I get a quote?
Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do I need to move out?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
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.
Choosing the right option
Be wary of a price that seems too low: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
Why choose us
- Records for your files
- Clear written quotes
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory

DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
How it works
Unexpected materials mean we pause and discuss, rather than carrying on regardless. When we’re done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows. In winter, the light goes in Grafty Green by about 3:50pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- We test the material if needed
- We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a 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
Before we arrive
- Let us know where we can park
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
