Where asbestos turns up
Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is when removal comes up.
In older properties, we often see:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Debris left from a previous job
- Finds during refurbishment
At a school such as Andrews' Endowed Church of England Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.

How we price asbestos removal
We base our quote on:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The size of the job
- Material and condition
- How many samples are needed
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Photos that help
When you send photos, these help most:
- The access route
- Where we could park
- Approximate dimensions
- A close-up from a safe distance
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
What it might be made of
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
After we have finished in Neatham
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
Some practical advice:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Book the replacement before removal
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Avoid these
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
