Asbestos removal for Chislet properties
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. We often deal with gutters and downpipes, floor tiles and cement roof sheets, and people usually contact us about debris left from a previous job and Artex ceilings before renovation.
In a village like Chislet, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Why people call us in Chislet
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Old waste on site
- Materials found mid-project
- Loft water tanks
- Artex before plastering
At a school such as Chislet Church of England Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Which laboratory analyses samples
A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Water tanks and flues
A Gas Safe engineer disconnects any gas appliance first.
Choosing the right option
Remove, or leave and manage? Sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is typically right. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
What you get
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Accredited laboratory results

FAQs for Chislet
Is asbestos common in Chislet homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Herne Bay station?
Yes. Herne Bay station is about 3.7 miles north-west of Chislet, and we cover both.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It varies: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
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.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Chislet?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The right method depends on what the material is.
Looking after things afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- File the consignment note
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Things not to do
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
