Asbestos removal for Southfleet properties
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. From Artex before plastering and cement flues and gutters, we cover cement soffits, flue pipes and gutters and downpipes and more.
In a village like Southfleet, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Typical removal jobs in Southfleet
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so buildings across Kent built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
Typical jobs in Southfleet include:
- Old flues
- Debris left from a previous job
- Textured coatings
- Loft water tanks
In a school like Sedley's Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
What your quote should include
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Looking after things afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Share any survey or test results
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell us about parking and access
Avoid these
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
What affects the price in Southfleet
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- What the material is and its state
- How much waste there is
- Location, parking and any London charges
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Photos that help
When you send photos, these help most:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The access route
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Labels, if any

Southfleet questions
Do you work near Longfield station?
Yes, we cover Southfleet and the area towards Longfield station, about 1.5 miles south-west.
Do you cover small places like Southfleet?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Southfleet?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The removal method depends on the material.
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.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
