Asbestos removal in Stockbury
About our asbestos removal in Stockbury
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. People often contact us about old floor tiles and black adhesive and old cold water tanks, including cement soffits, floor tiles and flue pipes.
In Stockbury, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Stockbury: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Stockbury?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It varies: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.

Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
What we deal with in Stockbury
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Asbestos found during building work
- Artex ceilings before renovation
For rentals close to Newington station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.

Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

Older buildings in Stockbury, near St Mary Magdalene Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan. Parts of the Kent Downs National Landscape are within about 5 miles of Stockbury. Rural removal jobs nearby often mean planning access across yards and fields.

What it costs

Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
