Asbestos removal in Wallend
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. Whether it’s old sheds and coal bunkers and old waste on site, we deal with cement soffits, floor tiles and gutters and downpipes and more.
In a village like Wallend, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Wallend: your questions answered
How far is Wallend from London?
We cover Wallend, about 34 miles from central London.
Do you cover Wallend and the area around Sheerness-On-Sea station?
Yes. Sheerness-On-Sea station is about 2.6 miles east of Wallend, and we cover both.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
What we deal with in Wallend
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
Typical jobs in Wallend include:
- Materials found mid-project
- Asbestos garages
