Asbestos removal for Puddledock
Asbestos removal for Puddledock properties
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 materials include flue pipes, cement soffits and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are cement flues and gutters and loft water tanks.
In a village like Puddledock, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Puddledock must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

What we deal with in Puddledock
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across Kent may contain it.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Debris left from a previous job
- Materials found mid-project
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Artex before plastering
In a school like Hextable Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.

Puddledock: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Puddledock homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Puddledock from London?
We cover Puddledock, about 13 miles from central London.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote.
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.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
