What happens next
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it in advance.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
What to avoid
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

We work in all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 13 miles away.
In a school like Chilton Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use. In older properties in Cliffs End, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal. Cliffs End is within about 3 miles of the coast; on exposed coastal sites, wind affects when outdoor removal can go ahead.

What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, normally tightly bound.
Responsibilities for owners
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
The process
As each piece comes out, it’s bagged or wrapped and labelled, ready to go to a permitted site. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you before carrying on. Outdoor removal in Cliffs End is planned to finish in daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:15pm.

Cliffs End questions
Do you cover Cliffs End and the area around Thanet Parkway station?
Yes. Thanet Parkway station is close to the centre of Cliffs End, and we cover the whole area.
Do older homes in Cliffs End have asbestos?
If your home in Cliffs End was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?

Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
