Choosing the right option
Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

A closer look at the materials
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
What it costs
Prices vary with:
- Material and condition
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The quantity or area
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Photos that help
To help us quote quickly, send:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Visible markings
- An overall view
- Street parking nearby
Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Step by step
If we find more than expected, or something different, we stop and talk to you, rather than carrying on regardless. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening. We plan outdoor jobs in Herne Pound to finish before dark: that means by about 3:50pm in December, or about 9:20pm in June.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Herne Pound, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Why people call us in Herne Pound
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Finds during refurbishment
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Broken sheets in gardens
For non-domestic buildings like Mereworth Community Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

Herne Pound: your questions answered
How far is Herne Pound from London?
We cover Herne Pound, about 26 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Herne Pound?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Not always. Cement and textured coatings are generally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally aren’t licensed.
