How asbestos removal works in Street End
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, and you get the waste paperwork. From old flues and floor tiles before a new floor, we cover water tanks, floor tiles and textured coatings.
In Street End, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Looking after things afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it proves legal disposal.
To avoid problems in future:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Don’ts
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.

A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Travel and parking
- The category of work
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Sending photos
When you send photos, these help most:
- An overall view
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Where we could park
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749 to get started.
For businesses and landlords in Street End
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.

Common questions in Street End
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings 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.
How far is Street End from London?
We cover Street End, about 54 miles from central London.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Street End?
There’s no fixed price: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
