Questions from Cliftonville
Could my house in Cliftonville contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Cliftonville may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Margate station?
Yes. Margate station is about 1.4 miles west of Cliftonville, and we cover both.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
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.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.

Cliftonville properties and asbestos removal
Cliftonville is about 1 mile north-east of Margate, in Kent. Cliftonville is part of the area we cover, from older terraces and semis to flats, workplaces and outbuildings. Cliftonville is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 16 miles away.
If you let property near Margate station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal. Older buildings in Cliftonville, near Church of St Paul or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal. The coast is within about a mile of Cliftonville; on exposed coastal sites, wind affects when outdoor removal can go ahead.

Duty holders and landlords in Cliftonville
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
What it might be made of
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, normally tightly bound.
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it proves legal disposal.
Going forward:
- Let us know where we can park
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Keep children and pets away on the day
What to avoid
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
