Asbestos removal near Upper Hartfield
We remove asbestos from homes, rented property and commercial buildings across Upper Hartfield: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Every job is planned to HSE guidance, with the waste taken to a permitted site. Common materials are cement soffits, textured coatings and floor tiles, and typical jobs are garage roofs and whole garages and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles.
In a village like Upper Hartfield, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Materials, one by one
Water tanks and flues
A Gas Safe engineer disconnects any gas appliance first.
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.
Looking after things afterwards
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, as the method may need to change.
Some practical advice:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Share any survey or test results
- Tell us about parking and access
Don’ts
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Upper Hartfield
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Debris left from a previous job
- Textured coatings
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Asbestos found during building work
Older buildings in Upper Hartfield, near Holy Trinity Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.
What to look for in a quote
- What category of work it is
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
FAQs for Upper Hartfield
Do you cover Upper Hartfield from London?
We cover Upper Hartfield, about 29 miles from central London.
Do you work near Ashurst Kent station?
Yes, we cover Upper Hartfield and the area towards Ashurst Kent station, about 3.7 miles north-east.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Cement and textured coatings are normally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor jobs don’t usually affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.
Duty holders and landlords in Upper Hartfield
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Choosing the right option
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, rather than halting work when it’s found. The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Why choose us
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Domestic and commercial work
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
See our prices page and our cost guide.
What we do and do not cover
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
