Asbestos removal near Sissinghurst
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, because the method depends on the material. Typical jobs include old waste on site and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos, including flue pipes, cement soffits and floor tiles.
In Sissinghurst, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Your options compared
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Afterwards
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, for anyone working there later.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- File the consignment note
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Send photos of the material and the access
Avoid these
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, which is typically well bound.

Sissinghurst questions
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
How far is Sissinghurst from London?
Sissinghurst is about 39 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What does removal cost?
Every job is priced individually: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
Why people call us in Sissinghurst
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Old flues
- Artex before plastering
- Asbestos found during building work
Older buildings in Sissinghurst, near Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.
