Asbestos removal for Dargate properties
In homes, in Dargate as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, which still means proper controls. Whether it’s old sheds and coal bunkers and finds during refurbishment, we cover textured coatings, water tanks and cement soffits.
In places like Dargate, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Questions from Dargate
Do you cover small places like Dargate?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Dargate and the area around Selling station?
Yes. Selling station is about 3 miles south-west of Dargate, 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.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are usually non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
How it works
We start by setting up and segregating the work area, and keep the material wet as we work. It helps if we can park nearby. In winter, the light goes in Dargate by about 3:50pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

What it might be made of
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, which is usually well bound.
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Looking after things afterwards
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
Things not to do
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.

DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

What’s in and what’s out:
