Asbestos removal for The Valley
Asbestos removal for The Valley properties
You don’t always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will say so. People often contact us about outbuildings with cement roofs and finds during refurbishment, including textured coatings, flue pipes and cement roof sheets.
In towns and villages like The Valley, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

What we deal with in The Valley
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Asbestos found during building work
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Old flues
For rentals close to Charing station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.
Questions to ask before you book

Other services in The Valley
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
The Valley questions
Do you cover The Valley and the area around Charing station?
Yes, we cover The Valley and the area towards Charing station, about 3.2 miles south.
Do you cover small places like The Valley?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you test before removing asbestos in The Valley?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in The Valley must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
After the job
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Share any survey or test results
- Book the replacement before removal
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Avoid these
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
