- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

Where asbestos turns up
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Textured coatings
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
In older properties in Nettlestead Green, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.
What to look for in a quote

Nettlestead Green: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Nettlestead Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do older homes in Nettlestead Green have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Nettlestead Green may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Nettlestead Green?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. Every job gets a written quote.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Nettlestead Green?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The right method depends on what the material is.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
A closer look at the materials
Water tanks and flues

What affects the price in Nettlestead Green
The cost depends on:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The type of material and its condition
- How many samples are needed
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Photos that help
For a quick quote, include:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Visible markings
- Street parking nearby

What happens next
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
Some practical advice:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Book the replacement before removal
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
Avoid these
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
