About our asbestos removal in Lenham Heath
In homes, in Lenham Heath as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. From debris left from a previous job and old sheds and coal bunkers, we cover flue pipes, cement roof sheets and floor tiles.
In a village like Lenham Heath, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Choosing the right option
Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

Common questions in Lenham Heath
Do you come out to small villages like Lenham Heath?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Lenham Heath from London?
We cover Lenham Heath, about 41 miles from central London.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.

Avoid these

What we deal with in Lenham Heath
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, although sound material can often stay.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Materials found mid-project
- Old cold water tanks
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Artex ceilings before renovation
For non-domestic buildings like The Lenham School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
