Common reasons for removal jobs in Leadingcross Green
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Kent may contain it.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Cement flues and gutters
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Old waste on site
If you let property near Lenham station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.

Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is generally well bound.
Which option is right?
Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Leadingcross Green: your questions answered
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Could my house in Leadingcross Green contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
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 a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
