Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Materials found mid-project
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Artex before plastering
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
Landlords near Ham Street station often time removal for when a property is empty.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- The method and controls

Stone Cross questions
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Could my house in Stone Cross contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Stone Cross may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Cement and textured coatings are generally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Stone Cross?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
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.
Good to know
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
