For landlords, agents and businesses
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.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
What’s included, and what is not
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and does not cover:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Making good is normally a separate job

Common questions in Bluetown
Do you cover Bluetown and the area around Sittingbourne station?
Yes. Sittingbourne station is about 3.6 miles north of Bluetown, and we cover both.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
What we deal with in Bluetown
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Asbestos garages
- Finds during refurbishment
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Artex before plastering
For non-domestic buildings like Milstead and Frinsted Church of England Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
