About our asbestos removal in Langton Green
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Whether it’s asbestos found during building work and old waste on site, we deal with textured coatings, cement roof sheets and cement soffits and more.
Properties in towns and villages like Langton Green with larger plots may have several outbuildings with cement roofs, which can often be dealt with together. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Questions from Langton Green
Do you cover Langton Green and the area around Tunbridge Wells station?
Yes, we cover Langton Green and the area towards Tunbridge Wells station, about 2.1 miles east.
Do you cover Langton Green from London?
Langton Green is about 29 miles from central London, well within our area.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Looking after things afterwards
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, because the plan may need to change.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Don’ts
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
