About our asbestos removal in Petteridge
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Typical jobs include cement flues and gutters and garage roofs and whole garages, including floor tiles, water tanks and gutters and downpipes.
In Petteridge, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Petteridge: your questions answered
Do you cover Petteridge from London?
We cover Petteridge, about 32 miles from central London.
Do you work near Paddock Wood station?
Yes, we cover Petteridge and the area towards Paddock Wood station, about 2.6 miles north.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.

Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Why people call us in Petteridge
Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is when removal comes up.
These come up again and again:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Materials found mid-project
- Debris left from a previous job
- Old flues
For rentals close to Paddock Wood station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- What category of work it is
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Whether VAT is included
After we’ve finished in Petteridge
File the waste paperwork safely: it proves legal disposal.
A few practical points:
- File the consignment note
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let us know where we can park
Avoid these
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Which option is right?
Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What you get
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Work done to the regulations
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
