Asbestos removal in Speldhurst
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Typical jobs include debris left from a previous job and cement water tanks in lofts, involving floor tiles, gutters and downpipes and textured coatings.
In places like Speldhurst, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

In a school like Speldhurst Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use. Older buildings in Speldhurst, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.

What we deal with in Speldhurst

Common situations in older properties include:
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Asbestos garages
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
For rentals close to Tunbridge Wells station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.
Comparing quotes
- VAT, clearly stated
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
Looking after things afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it proves legal disposal.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Let us know where we can park
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Avoid these
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
What happens
We start by setting up and segregating the work area, then keep the material damp throughout. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you. In winter, the light goes in Speldhurst by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.

A closer look at the materials
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is typically well bound.
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Good to know
Before you book, note that:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
