How asbestos removal works in Holborough
If your builder has found suspect material in Holborough, work should stop there and people kept out. We’ll identify it and plan what happens next. Typical jobs include cement water tanks in lofts and old floor tiles and black adhesive, including cement soffits, floor tiles and cement roof sheets.
Homes in Holborough with bigger gardens may have several outbuildings with cement roofs. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Take a look at how we price jobs and our cost guide.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Afterwards
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, because the plan may need to change.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- File the consignment note
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Tell us about parking and access
Things not to do
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Common questions in Holborough
Do you cover Holborough and the area around Snodland station?
Yes, we cover Holborough and the area towards Snodland station, about 0.5 miles south.
How far is Holborough from London?
Holborough is about 26 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Holborough?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The right method depends on what the material is.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It varies: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.
Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Materials, one by one
