How asbestos removal works in Cheriton
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. We often deal with cement soffits, textured coatings and flue pipes, and people normally contact us about old flues and garage roofs and whole garages.
In a smaller place like Cheriton, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, reached through gardens and drives. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Step by step
We unfix materials and take them out in whole pieces where we can, without breaking, dropping or power tools. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you before carrying on. Outdoor removal in Cheriton is planned to finish in daylight: that means by about 3:50pm in December, or about 9:15pm in June.
- Share photos, the postcode and any survey or test you have
- We confirm what the material is and what category of work it falls into
- A written quote follows, covering method, controls and disposal

Cheriton properties and asbestos removal
Cheriton is about 1 mile west of Folkestone, in Kent. Properties in Cheriton range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. We cover 922 places in Kent. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 13 miles away.
In older buildings across Cheriton, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first. At a school such as All Soul's Church of England Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty. Cheriton is within about 5 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape; removing asbestos from rural buildings there follows the same rules, with access across yards and fields to plan. Cheriton is within about 2 miles of the coast, where exposed sites can be windy, so outdoor removal is planned around the forecast.
For removal jobs in CT19, CT20 and CT50, just send the postcode and a few photos. That could mean a property on Oaks Road, Firs Lane and Star Lane or the roads around them.

DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
If your business premises in Cheriton were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.

Your options compared
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, rather than halting work when it’s found. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Why people choose us
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- No removal until we know what it is
After we’ve finished in Cheriton
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is usually a separate job, so plan it in advance.
Keeping things safe:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Share any survey or test results
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

FAQs for Cheriton
Do you cover Cheriton from London?
Cheriton is about 61 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
It doesn’t always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
