Asbestos removal near Keston
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Whether it’s garage roof sheets and broken sheets in gardens, we cover cement soffits, water tanks and flue pipes.
In towns and villages like Keston, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Which option is right?
Remove, or leave and manage? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is generally right. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Why us?

What else we do in Keston
DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
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.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Before you book, note that:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

- Flue pipes
- Gutters and downpipes
- Bitumen roof felt

Common questions in Keston
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover Keston and the area around Hayes (Kent) station?
Yes. Hayes (Kent) station is about 1.5 miles north-west of Keston, and we cover both.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Do you cover Keston?
We do: our area includes Keston and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Materials, one by one
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Where asbestos turns up
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Debris left from a previous job
- Asbestos found during building work
- Artex before plastering
Landlords near Hayes (Kent) station often time removal for when a property is empty.
