Asbestos removal for Wilmington
About our asbestos removal in Wilmington
We remove asbestos from homes, rented property and commercial buildings across Wilmington: garage roofs, flues, water tanks, Artex and floor tiles among them. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. Typical jobs include debris left from a previous job and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles, including gutters and downpipes, water tanks and flue pipes.
In a village like Wilmington, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Where asbestos turns up
Old materials break down over time: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is when removal comes up.
These come up again and again:
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
Older buildings in Wilmington, near St Barnabas or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.
Questions to ask before you book
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Whether VAT is included
- Suitable insurance for the work
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Limits to be aware of
The usual limits are:
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is usually separate
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

How it works
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, then keep the material damp throughout. We will tell you when we have finished and what you’ll receive afterwards. Outdoor removal in Wilmington is planned to finish in daylight: that means by about 3:50pm in December, or about 9:20pm in June.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- If it hasn’t been identified, we sample it first
- We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a quote
- We remove the material with controls to keep fibres down
- We clean up, dispose of the waste legally and send the consignment note
How to prepare
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
- Ensure we can get to the area
- Move things out of the way carefully
Getting a price
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Helpful guides
Looking after things afterwards
File the waste paperwork safely: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
Some practical advice:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Share any survey or test results
Things not to do
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
Wilmington questions
Do you work near Crayford station?
Yes. Crayford station is about 1.3 miles north of Wilmington, and we cover both.
Do you come out to small villages like Wilmington?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The right method depends on what the material is.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
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.
What it costs
When we quote, we look at:
- Disposal costs
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- What the material is and its state
- How much there is
When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Helping us quote
What to photograph:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- An idea of size
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.

Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
