Asbestos removal for Bullockstone properties

After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, and you get the waste paperwork. People often contact us about asbestos found during building work and old floor tiles and black adhesive, including cement soffits, floor tiles and textured coatings.

In towns and villages like Bullockstone, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Asbestos removal in Bullockstone: local notes

Bullockstone is about 1 mile south-west of Herne Bay, in Kent. Bullockstone is part of the area we cover, from older terraces and semis to flats, workplaces and outbuildings. Bullockstone is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover.

In older properties in Bullockstone, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan. For non-domestic buildings like Thornden Wood Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty. The coast is within about 2 miles of Bullockstone; on exposed coastal sites, wind affects when outdoor removal can go ahead.

Can I do it myself?

Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.

What you get

  • Legal disposal, with paperwork
  • Covering London and the South East
  • Homes, rented property and workplaces
  • No removal until we know what it is

FAQs for Bullockstone

Do you cover Bullockstone from London?

We cover Bullockstone, about 53 miles from central London.

Do you cover small places like Bullockstone?

Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.

Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?

Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.

Do you work on commercial premises?

Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.

Does weather affect the work?

It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.

Do you work in flats?

Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.

Do you give written quotes?

Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.

How much does asbestos removal cost in Bullockstone?

There is no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.

Afterwards

Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is normally a separate job, so plan it in advance.

If asbestos stays in the building:

  • Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
  • Tell us about any previous survey
  • Let neighbours know if work is near them
  • File the consignment note

Things not to do

Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.

Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.

Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it doesn’t:

  • We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
  • Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
  • Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor

If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

  • Flue pipes
  • Floor tiles and adhesive
  • Panels and boards
  • Bitumen roof felt
  • Artex and textured coatings
  • Gutters and downpipes
  • Asbestos cement sheets
  • Soffits (cement)

Service details

Prices and what affects them

The cost depends on:

  • Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
  • How easy it is to reach
  • How much there is
  • Location, parking and any London charges

Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.

How it works

If we find more than expected, or something different, we stop and talk to you, rather than carrying on regardless. While we work, the area stays out of bounds. Outdoor removal in Bullockstone is planned to finish in daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:15pm.

  1. Describe the material and send pictures
  2. If it hasn’t been identified, we sample it first
  3. We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a quote
  4. On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can
  5. We clean up, dispose of the waste legally and send the consignment note

Getting ready

  • Mention any parking restrictions
  • Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away on the day
