Typical materials include cement soffits, water tanks and floor tiles, and people generally contact us about garage roof sheets and finds during refurbishment.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Your questions about asbestos removal in Clap Hill
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you work near Ham Street station?
Yes, we cover Clap Hill and the area towards Ham Street station, about 4.1 miles south-west.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can normally stay put. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
What happens
Unexpected materials mean we pause and discuss, before changing the plan. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. We plan outdoor jobs in Clap Hill to finish before dark: that means by about 3:50pm in December, or about 9:15pm in June.

Where asbestos turns up
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, though in good condition it does not always need to go.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Textured coatings
- Old cold water tanks
- Asbestos garages
At a school such as Aldington Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
