Asbestos removal in Hever
Asbestos removal in Hever
Removal is not always the answer. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll tell you honestly when that’s the case. Typical jobs include vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and materials found mid-project, involving cement roof sheets, cement soffits and floor tiles.
In Hever, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

What we deal with in Hever
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so buildings across Kent built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Asbestos found during building work
- Artex before plastering
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
For non-domestic buildings like Hever Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
What your quote should include
- How fibres will be kept down
- Any exclusions
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
Duty holders and landlords in Hever
For managing agents and freeholders in Hever, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- How much there is
- Material and condition
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Location, parking and any London charges
Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Sending photos
The most useful photos are:
- Cracks or breaks
- A photo of the whole area
- Labels, if any
- Street parking nearby
Send us the address in Hever, a description and some photos: call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Common questions in Hever
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings 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.
Do you work near Hever station?
Yes. Hever station is about 0.5 miles west of Hever, and we cover both.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
What happens to the waste?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site, with a consignment note as your record.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
