Our asbestos removal in DA10
In homes, in DA10 as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, which still means proper controls. People often contact us about finds during refurbishment and old cold water tanks, including cement soffits, floor tiles and gutters and downpipes.
As each piece comes out, it’s bagged or wrapped and labelled, ready to go to a permitted site.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- We identify it if needed and plan the method
- You get a written quote, including waste disposal
- We remove it with controls to keep fibres down
- We clean up and send you the waste paperwork
Pricing in DA10
Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note

Ebbsfleet Valley: For rentals close to Ebbsfleet International station, removal fits neatly between tenancies. Older buildings in Ebbsfleet Valley, near Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first. Outdoor removal in Ebbsfleet Valley is planned to finish in daylight: that means by about 3:50pm in December, or about 9:20pm in June.
What we deal with in DA10
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Old flues
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Materials found mid-project
Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

DA10: your questions answered
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Where does the asbestos go?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note as your record.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
