Asbestos removal for Kencot
How asbestos removal works in Kencot
You don’t always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will tell you honestly when that is the case. Typical jobs include old waste on site and old flues, including floor tiles, gutters and downpipes and textured coatings.
In Kencot, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Kencot
Sometimes damage forces the issue.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Cement flues and gutters
- Finds during refurbishment
- Garage roof sheets
- Broken sheets in gardens
Older buildings in Kencot, near Church of St Peter or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.

Looking after things afterwards
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, so future trades know about it.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- File the consignment note
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Don’ts
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.

Questions from Kencot
Could my house in Kencot contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you come out to small villages like Kencot?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Kencot?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Duty holders and landlords in Kencot
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
