Typical removal jobs in Monk's Hill
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Old waste on site
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Asbestos found during building work
For non-domestic buildings like Smarden Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

Monk's Hill: your questions answered
How far is Monk's Hill from London?
We cover Monk's Hill, about 41 miles from central London.
Could my house in Monk's Hill contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Monk's Hill can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
