How asbestos removal works in Rabbit's Cross
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. From old flues and old sheds and coal bunkers, we cover gutters and downpipes, cement roof sheets and flue pipes.
In a village like Rabbit's Cross, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Rabbit's Cross questions
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover small places like Rabbit's Cross?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
What does removal cost?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. We quote each job individually.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Do you work in Rabbit's Cross?
Yes. We cover Rabbit's Cross and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The right method depends on what the material is.
Looking after things afterwards
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, for anyone working there later.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Let us know where we can park
- Tell us about any previous survey
- File the consignment note
- Send photos of the material and the access
Don’ts
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The quantity or area
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The survey scope
- The type of material and its condition
Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
Photos that help
Helpful photos:
- Cracks or breaks
- A photo of the whole area
- Approximate dimensions
- Where we could park
