Asbestos removal for New Ash Green properties
Every removal job in New Ash Green is planned first: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts.

In a village like New Ash Green, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. We only recommend work that is needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

DIY and asbestos
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.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
What happens next
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
What to avoid
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
New Ash Green questions
Do older homes in New Ash Green have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Longfield station?
Yes. Longfield station is about 2.1 miles north of New Ash Green, and we cover both.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
