Asbestos removal for Swanley Village properties
Removal isn’t always the answer. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will say so. Common materials are gutters and downpipes, cement roof sheets and floor tiles, and typical jobs are vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and garage roof sheets.
In places like Swanley Village, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

After the job
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is generally a separate job, so plan it in advance.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Tell us about any previous survey
Things not to do
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.

More for properties in Swanley Village
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Swanley Village, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

Your options compared
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles
Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Where asbestos turns up
Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Old waste on site
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
For rentals close to Swanley station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.
What to look for in a quote

Your questions about asbestos removal in Swanley Village
Is asbestos common in Swanley Village homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Swanley Village may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Swanley Village and the area around Swanley station?
Yes. Swanley station is about 1.5 miles south-west of Swanley Village, and we cover both.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
What’s included, and what is not
To be clear about the scope:
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Making good is normally a separate job
