Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Ringlestone, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
What it costs
Our quotes take into account:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- How easy it is to reach
- Disposal costs
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

What we deal with in Ringlestone
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so buildings across Kent built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Debris left from a previous job
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Asbestos found during building work
- Garage roofs and whole garages
For rentals close to Maidstone Barracks station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.
Before booking anyone
- Any exclusions
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- Whether VAT is included
Looking after things afterwards
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, because the plan may need to change.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Tell us about parking and access
Things not to do
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.

Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, rather than halting work when it’s found. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
