Gillingham: For rentals close to Gillingham (Kent) station, removal fits neatly between tenancies. In a school like Featherby Junior School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use. In winter, the light goes in Gillingham by about 3:50pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
Afterwards
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, so future trades know about it.
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Let us know where we can park
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
For businesses and landlords in Medway
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
The scope of asbestos removal
So you know what to expect:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
Why people call us in Medway
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Materials found mid-project
- Old waste on site
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Cement flues and gutters
Weighing up your options
What kind of work is it? The material and the job decide. Our guide explains the difference, with links to HSE’s pages.

Medway questions
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you cover Medway?
Yes, we do: Medway is within the area we cover in Medway. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
