Asbestos removal for Uplees
Asbestos removal for Uplees properties
If your builder has found suspect material in Uplees, work should stop there and people kept out. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. Common materials are cement soffits, gutters and downpipes and water tanks, and typical jobs are old waste on site and loft water tanks.
Rural removal near Uplees can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Prices and what affects them
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- The size of the job
- How many samples are needed
- Travel and parking
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- Where we could park
- A photo of the whole area
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Approximate dimensions
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you are planning. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and does not cover:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Uplees questions
Do you work near Faversham station?
Yes. Faversham station is about 2.4 miles south-east of Uplees, and we cover both.
How far is Uplees from London?
We cover Uplees, about 43 miles from central London.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are typically non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
After we’ve finished in Uplees
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, as the method may need to change.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
Don’ts
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Choosing the right option
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
