Asbestos removal for Broad Street properties
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. We often deal with water tanks, flue pipes and floor tiles, and people typically contact us about garage roofs and whole garages and cement water tanks in lofts.
Rural removal near Broad Street can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Broad Street
Is asbestos common in Broad Street homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Broad Street may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Hollingbourne station?
Yes. Hollingbourne station is about 1.1 miles south of Broad Street, and we cover both.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Broad Street?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Do you cover Broad Street?
We do: Broad Street is within the area we cover in Kent. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.

Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
Keeping things safe:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- File the consignment note
- Tell us about any previous survey
Avoid these
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If your business premises in Broad Street were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Weighing up your options
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
