Asbestos removal in Chestnut Street
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. Typical jobs include finds during refurbishment and garage roofs and whole garages, involving cement roof sheets, gutters and downpipes and textured coatings.
In places like Chestnut Street, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

FAQs for Chestnut Street
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do older homes in Chestnut Street have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
What we do and don’t cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned

Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
