Asbestos removal in Kent Street
Asbestos removal in Kent Street
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. People often contact us about Artex before plastering and asbestos found during building work, including water tanks, flue pipes and cement roof sheets.
In a village like Kent Street, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Kent Street: your questions answered
Do you cover Kent Street from London?
We cover Kent Street, about 37 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like Kent Street?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
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.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Places near Kent Street
Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If your business premises in Kent Street were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Weighing up your options
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Read our prices page or our cost guide.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
What happens next
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, for anyone working there later.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Let us know where we can park
- Book the replacement before removal
- Tell us about any previous survey
Avoid these
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
How we price asbestos removal
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- How many samples are needed
- The quantity or area
- What the material is and its state
- Location, parking and any London charges
The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- A rough size or measurement
- A clear close-up
- Street parking nearby
- A picture of the whole area
You’ll get a written quote. Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 with the details.
A closer look at the materials
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Limits to be aware of
So you know what to expect:
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
