Asbestos removal for Horns Green properties
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified. Typical jobs include floor tiles before a new floor and old sheds and coal bunkers, involving cement soffits, gutters and downpipes and cement roof sheets.
Rural removal near Horns Green can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

FAQs for Horns Green
Do you cover small places like Horns Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It varies: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.

Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
