Asbestos removal in Cliffe
If your builder has found suspect material in Cliffe, work should stop there and people kept out. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. Typical materials include cement soffits, water tanks and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are outbuildings with cement roofs and Artex before plastering.
In places like Cliffe, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

As each piece comes out, it’s bagged or wrapped and labelled, ready to go to a permitted site. While we work, the area stays out of bounds. Late-December sunset in Cliffe is about 3:50pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
If your business premises in Cliffe were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- The category of work
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The quantity or area
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Sending photos

- Cracks or breaks
- A rough size or measurement
- A clear close-up

Cliffe questions
Do you cover small places like Cliffe?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Cliffe and the area around Higham station?
Yes. Higham station is about 2.6 miles south-west of Cliffe, and we cover both.
Do you work in Cliffe?
Yes. We cover Cliffe and the surrounding area as part of Medway. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Cliffe?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The removal method depends on the material.
