Asbestos removal for Little Conghurst properties
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is normally non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, which still means proper controls. From cement flues and gutters and Artex ceilings before renovation, we cover gutters and downpipes, flue pipes and textured coatings.
Rural removal near Little Conghurst can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Where asbestos turns up
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Textured coatings
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Garage roofs and whole garages
At a school such as Hawkhurst Church of England Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
