Asbestos removal near Lilyvale
Removal isn’t always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will say so. From cement water tanks in lofts and textured coatings, we deal with flue pipes, cement roof sheets and cement soffits and more.
Rural removal near Lilyvale can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

What we deal with in Lilyvale
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so buildings across Kent built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Artex before plastering
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Finds during refurbishment
If you let property near Westenhanger station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.
What to look for in a quote
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- The method and controls
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
Choosing the right option
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Step by step

- Describe the material and send pictures
- We test the material if needed
