Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

How we price asbestos removal
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- Access to the area
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- How much waste there is
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
What to photograph

- A close-up from a safe distance

- Where we could park

Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Where does the asbestos go?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site, and you receive the consignment note.

- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Book the replacement before removal
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Avoid these
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.

Why people call us in West Kingsdown
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Kent may contain it.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Old waste on site
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Floor tiles before a new floor
In older buildings across West Kingsdown, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.
