How asbestos removal works in Ulcombe
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, because the method depends on the material. Whether it’s floor tiles before a new floor and Artex ceilings before renovation, we cover textured coatings, cement soffits and gutters and downpipes.
In Ulcombe, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Helpful guides
Duty holders and landlords in Ulcombe

Questions from Ulcombe
Do you work near Harrietsham station?
Yes, we cover Ulcombe and the area towards Harrietsham station, about 2.5 miles north-east.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
