Options to consider in Northfleet
Remove, or leave and manage? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Looking after things afterwards
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, as the method may need to change.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- File the consignment note
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Avoid these
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.

Where asbestos turns up
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Asbestos garages
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Cement flues and gutters
If you let property near Gravesend station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.
What your quote should include
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- Whether VAT is included
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
The process
At the end, the work area is cleaned with suitable methods and checked. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away. We plan outdoor jobs in Northfleet to finish before dark: that means by about 3:50pm in December, or about 9:20pm in June.

Northfleet: your questions answered
Do older homes in Northfleet have asbestos?
If your home in Northfleet was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Gravesend station?
Yes. Gravesend station is about 1 mile north-east of Northfleet, and we cover both.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Good to know
The usual limits are:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate
