About our asbestos removal in Waltham
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, with a consignment note for your records. People often contact us about old sheds and coal bunkers and asbestos found during building work, including textured coatings, water tanks and cement roof sheets.
In a village like Waltham, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Common questions in Waltham
Do older homes in Waltham have asbestos?
If your home in Waltham was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Chilham station?
Yes, we cover Waltham and the area towards Chilham station, about 3.7 miles north-west.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Waltham?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
What we do and do not cover
A few things to be aware of:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Before you book anyone
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Any exclusions
Choosing the right option
Remove, or leave and manage? Sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is usually right. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Why choose us
- Across London and the South East
- Clear advice on your options
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Reports and results you can share
See our prices page and the cost guide.
Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
How we price asbestos removal
What changes the cost:
- The quantity or area
- The category of work
- The type of material and its condition
- Location, parking and any London charges
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Helping us quote
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- A rough size or measurement

For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you are planning. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
For businesses and landlords in Waltham
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Asbestos removal in Waltham: local notes
Waltham is about 6 miles south-west of Canterbury, in Kent. Properties in Waltham range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Waltham is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we work. Our area stretches from Waltham to Canterbury (about 6 miles away).
Older buildings in Waltham, near Church of St Bartholomew or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal. Parts of the Kent Downs National Landscape are within about 4 miles of Waltham. Rural removal jobs nearby often mean planning access across yards and fields.

Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Step by step
Unexpected materials mean we pause and discuss, rather than carrying on regardless. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we will do before we start. In winter, the light goes in Waltham by about 3:50pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
