Asbestos removal near Weavering
Asbestos removal near Weavering
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Whether it’s asbestos garages and materials found mid-project, we cover gutters and downpipes, water tanks and flue pipes and more.
In a smaller place like Weavering, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, reached through gardens and drives. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

For businesses and landlords in Weavering
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Common questions in Weavering
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do older homes in Weavering have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
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.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- The category of work
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The quantity or area
- What the material is and its state
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
What to photograph
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Labels, if any
- A close-up from a safe distance
- An overall view
- Approximate dimensions

Common reasons for removal jobs in Weavering
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Kent may contain it.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Old cold water tanks
- Old waste on site
- Cement flues and gutters
In older properties in Weavering, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Questions to ask before booking
- The method and controls
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Which laboratory analyses samples
Which option is right?
Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
What you get
- Clear advice on your options
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations

Materials, one by one
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Should you do 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.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
