Asbestos removal for South Green properties
Asbestos removal in South Green covers homes, rental property and workplaces: garage roofs, flues, water tanks, Artex and floor tiles among them. Every job is planned to HSE guidance, with the waste taken to a permitted site. We often deal with gutters and downpipes, floor tiles and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are garage roofs and whole garages and finds during refurbishment.
In places like South Green, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Typical removal jobs in South Green
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, although sound material can often stay.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Debris left from a previous job
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Cement flues and gutters
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
In older buildings across South Green, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Questions to ask before booking
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Whether the job needs notifying
Choosing the right option
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.

Common questions in South Green
How far is South Green from London?
We cover South Green, about 35 miles from central London.
Do you cover South Green and the area around Newington station?
Yes. Newington station is about 3 miles north of South Green, and we cover both.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
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.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Do you cover South Green?
Yes. We cover South Green and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.

- The survey scope
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Licensed or non-licensed
Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
What to photograph
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Cracks or breaks
- Labels, if any
- A rough size or measurement
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
After we have finished in South Green
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is generally a separate job, so plan it in advance.
Once we’re done:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- File the consignment note
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Tell us about parking and access
Avoid these
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
