Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Eastchurch must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Removal jobs in Eastchurch
Eastchurch is about 3 miles east of Minster, in Kent. In Eastchurch, we hear from homeowners, landlords and businesses about all kinds of jobs. Eastchurch is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. We work right across the region, from Eastchurch to Canterbury (13 miles away).
If you let property near Queenborough station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal. Older buildings in Eastchurch, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Eastchurch
Do you cover Eastchurch from London?
Eastchurch is about 42 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos common in Eastchurch homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Eastchurch may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It varies: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
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.
Typical removal jobs in Eastchurch
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Kent may contain it.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Old cold water tanks
- Asbestos found during building work
For non-domestic buildings like Eastchurch Church of England Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
