Asbestos removal in Kingsnorth
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, and you get the waste paperwork. From debris left from a previous job and old floor tiles and black adhesive, we deal with floor tiles, gutters and downpipes and textured coatings and more.
In a village like Kingsnorth, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

After the job
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it proves legal disposal.
Going forward:
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Photos of the material and the route in help
Don’ts
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Kingsnorth, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Weighing up your options
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and disposal still has to be done properly. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
Why us?
- Records for your files
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
See our prices page or our cost guide.
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning

Kingsnorth questions
How far is Kingsnorth from London?
We cover Kingsnorth, about 30 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Kingsnorth?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
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.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
