How asbestos removal works in Eastry
You don’t always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will tell you honestly when that’s the case. Whether it’s garage roof sheets and cement flues and gutters, we deal with gutters and downpipes, flue pipes and cement roof sheets and more.
In a smaller place like Eastry, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, reached through gardens and drives. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you manage or own a block in Eastry, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.

Removing asbestos around Eastry
Eastry is about 4 miles north-west of Deal, in Kent. Eastry is part of the area we cover, on everything from houses and flats to workplaces and garages. Eastry is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. We work right across the region, from Eastry to Canterbury (10 miles away).
Older buildings in Eastry, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal. In a school like Eastry Church of England Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use. Eastry is within about 5 miles of the coast; on exposed coastal sites, wind affects when outdoor removal can go ahead.

Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
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.

Which option is right?
Should it come out? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is normally right. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
