Asbestos removal near Dunn Street
You don’t always have to remove asbestos. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will tell you honestly when that is the case. Common materials are gutters and downpipes, cement soffits and water tanks, and people usually contact us about floor tiles before a new floor and old waste on site.
In Dunn Street, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

For businesses and landlords in Dunn Street

FAQs for Dunn Street
Do you cover Dunn Street from London?
We cover Dunn Street, about 31 miles from central London.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
Do you cover Dunn Street?
Yes. We cover Dunn Street and the surrounding area as part of Medway. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Which option is right?
Should it come out? Sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Asbestos waste cannot 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.
