Asbestos help in Harrietsham
Asbestos removal in Harrietsham
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. Typical jobs include old sheds and coal bunkers and old flues, including floor tiles, cement roof sheets and flue pipes.
In towns and villages like Harrietsham, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, reached through gardens and drives. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

What it costs
Every quote reflects:
- The type of material and its condition
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- How much there is
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Photos that help
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- How we’d reach it
- Cracks or breaks
- Where we could park
Photos and a postcode help us quote quickly: just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Weighing up your options
Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
What you get
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
