Asbestos removal in Kingswood
How asbestos removal works in Kingswood
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. Typical materials include floor tiles, flue pipes and gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are old waste on site and cement flues and gutters.
In a village like Kingswood, 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.

Kingswood properties and asbestos removal

Landlords near Harrietsham station often time removal for when a property is empty. Older buildings in Kingswood, near Kingswood Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first. Kingswood is within about 3 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape; removing asbestos from rural buildings there follows the same rules, with access across yards and fields to plan.

Looking after things afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Share any survey or test results
Avoid these
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
The scope of asbestos removal
Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it does not:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning

DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
How it works
We unfix materials and take them out in whole pieces where we can, without breaking, dropping or power tools. When we are done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows. In winter, the light goes in Kingswood by about 3:50pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

What we deal with in Kingswood
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so buildings across Kent built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Cement flues and gutters
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Asbestos found during building work
In a school like Kingswood Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
Questions to ask before booking

Common questions in Kingswood
Is asbestos common in Kingswood homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Kingswood may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Kingswood?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
