Asbestos removal for Broadstairs
Broadstairs properties and asbestos removal
Broadstairs is about 16 miles east of Canterbury, in Kent. We work across Broadstairs and the surrounding area, from older terraces and semis to flats, workplaces and outbuildings. We work in 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our area stretches from Broadstairs to Canterbury (about 16 miles away).
At a school such as St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty. On busy roads like the A254 and A255, loading the waste needs planning, so mention it. Broadstairs is within about 2 miles of the coast; on exposed coastal sites, wind affects when outdoor removal can go ahead.
Wherever your property is in CT10, CT9 and CT12, asbestos removal is available, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your property is on High Street, Union Square and Church Road or anywhere nearby, we can help. Broadstairs is on the A254 and A255, so it’s easy for us to reach. Neighbouring places we cover include Upton (1 mile south-west), St Peter's (1 mile north-west), Northwood (1 mile south-west), Kingsgate (2 miles north) and Northdown (2 miles north).

How asbestos removal works in Broadstairs
Licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence. We’ll tell you if your job in Broadstairs falls into that category. Whether it’s vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and finds during refurbishment, we cover gutters and downpipes, cement roof sheets and textured coatings and more.
In a town like Broadstairs, removal jobs are often garage roofs, sheds, flues, tanks and textured coatings in homes, often ahead of building work. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

For businesses and landlords in Broadstairs
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
If you run a business from older premises in Broadstairs, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.

What else we do in Broadstairs
A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Questions from Broadstairs
Do older homes in Broadstairs have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Broadstairs station?
Yes. Broadstairs station is close to the centre of Broadstairs, and we cover the whole area.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can typically stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Which option is right?
Be wary of a price that seems too low: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
What you get

Read how we quote and published price ranges.
After the job
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, as the method may need to change.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Let us know where we can park
Things not to do
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
The scope of asbestos removal
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
