About our asbestos removal in Pluckley
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, and you get the waste paperwork. From cement flues and gutters and garage roof sheets, we cover water tanks, gutters and downpipes and textured coatings.
In towns and villages like Pluckley, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Looking after things afterwards
File the waste paperwork safely: it proves legal disposal.
Once we’re done:
- File the consignment note
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell us about parking and access
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
Things not to do
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
What it might be made of
Water tanks and flues
A Gas Safe engineer disconnects any gas appliance first.
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
Why people call us in Pluckley
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Artex before plastering
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
If you let property near Pluckley station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.

Pluckley: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Pluckley?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Pluckley from London?
We cover Pluckley, about 43 miles from central London.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Pluckley?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you manage or own a block in Pluckley, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Weighing up your options
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, rather than halting work when it’s found. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why choose us
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory

Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
