Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
About our asbestos removal in Shadoxhurst
If your builder has found suspect material in Shadoxhurst, work should stop there and people kept out. We will identify it and plan what happens next. From garage roof sheets and old sheds and coal bunkers, we cover flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and textured coatings and more.
In a village like Shadoxhurst, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Why people call us in Shadoxhurst
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so buildings across Kent built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Materials found mid-project
- Loft water tanks
Older buildings in Shadoxhurst, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.
What your quote should include
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
Materials we deal with
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, typically tightly bound.
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
What happens next
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
Keeping things safe:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- File the consignment note
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Don’ts
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
What it costs
The cost depends on:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Access to the area
- How much waste there is
- How many samples are needed
Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
Sending photos
To help us quote quickly, send:
- Cracks or breaks
- Approximate dimensions
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- An overall view
Every job is quoted in writing. Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

FAQs for Shadoxhurst
Could my house in Shadoxhurst contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Shadoxhurst can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Shadoxhurst and the area around Ham Street station?
Yes, we cover Shadoxhurst and the area towards Ham Street station, about 3.1 miles south-east.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Do you cover Shadoxhurst?
Yes, we do: Shadoxhurst is within the area we cover in Kent. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Shadoxhurst?
Every job is priced individually: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Do you work on commercial premises?
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.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
