For rented flats close to Faversham station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.

Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with a consignment note.
A few practical points:
- File the test result and waste note
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Each different coating needs testing
What to avoid
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
What it might be made of
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, but the coating underneath is the same.
Textured walls
Some walls were also given textured finishes.
What we do and do not cover
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
