A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Typical removal jobs in East Street
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across Kent may contain it.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Asbestos garages
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Cement flues and gutters
- Old cold water tanks
In older properties in East Street, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.
Questions to ask before you book
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- The method and controls
Prices and what affects them
What changes the cost:
- How easy it is to reach
- The quantity or area
- Parking and access charges
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Your options compared
Remove, or leave and manage? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is normally right. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Why choose us
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Reports and results you can share
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Across London and the South East

For businesses and landlords in East Street
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you manage or own a block in East Street, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
What happens next
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
A few practical points:
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
What to avoid
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.

Helpful guides
Your questions about asbestos removal in East Street
How far is East Street from London?
We cover East Street, about 62 miles from central London.
Do older homes in East Street have asbestos?
If your home in East Street was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It varies: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
