Asbestos help in Yalding
Where asbestos turns up
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
People generally contact us about one of these:
- Old cold water tanks
- Finds during refurbishment
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Old flues
In older buildings across Yalding, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.

FAQs for Yalding
Do you cover Yalding and the area around Yalding station?
Yes, we cover Yalding and the area towards Yalding station, about 1 mile west.
Do you cover small places like Yalding?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do you cover Yalding?
Yes. We cover Yalding and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Can I stay at home during removal?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.

What else we do in Yalding
For businesses and landlords in Yalding
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Yalding must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get 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
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- 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
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Garage and shed roofs
- Bitumen roof felt
- Panels and boards
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Soffits (cement)
- Flue pipes
- Gutters and downpipes
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
- Water tanks
What happens next
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
Going forward:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Tell us about any previous survey
What to avoid
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
What it costs
We base our quote on:
- The size of the job
- The survey scope
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Parking and access charges
Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
