About our asbestos removal in Woodhatch
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. People often contact us about Artex ceilings before renovation and old flues, involving flue pipes, cement soffits and textured coatings.
Rural removal near Woodhatch can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Where asbestos turns up
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across Kent may contain it.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- Old waste on site
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Asbestos found during building work
- Cement water tanks in lofts
If you let property near Hildenborough station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.
What your quote should include
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Any exclusions
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- Suitable insurance for the work
Responsibilities for owners
For managing agents and freeholders in Woodhatch, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
What else we do in Woodhatch
What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- What the material is and its state
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Parking and access charges
Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
Helping us quote
When you send photos, these help most:
- Cracks or breaks
- A close-up from a safe distance
- The access route
- Street parking nearby
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
After we have finished in Woodhatch
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is usually a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
Keeping things safe:
- File the consignment note
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Photos of the material and the route in help
Avoid these
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Good to know
The usual limits are:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified

Questions from Woodhatch
Could my house in Woodhatch contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Woodhatch from London?

Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in 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.
Do you need to see it before quoting?

How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can I stay at home during removal?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
