Asbestos removal in Kings Hill
Weighing up your options
Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is typically right. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
What you get

About our asbestos removal in Kings Hill
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. Typical jobs include Artex before plastering and materials found mid-project, involving gutters and downpipes, textured coatings and flue pipes.
Homes in Kings Hill with bigger gardens may have several outbuildings with cement roofs. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Kings Hill
Do older homes in Kings Hill have asbestos?
If your home in Kings Hill was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Kings Hill from London?
We cover Kings Hill, about 27 miles from central London.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
It doesn’t always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs do not normally affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Do you cover Kings Hill?
We do: Kings Hill is within the area we cover in Kent. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Step by step
If we find more than expected, or something different, we stop and talk to you, before changing the plan. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. In winter, the light goes in Kings Hill by about 3:50pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

Duty holders and landlords in Kings Hill
If you manage or own a block in Kings Hill, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Why people call us in Kings Hill
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, although sound material can often stay.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Asbestos found during building work
- Debris left from a previous job
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Old flues
For non-domestic buildings like Kings Hill School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
What your quote should include
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- VAT, clearly stated
- The documents you’ll receive
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
What it might be made of
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
