About our asbestos removal in Erriottwood
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, and you get the waste paperwork. Typical jobs include old sheds and coal bunkers and floor tiles before a new floor, involving textured coatings, floor tiles and flue pipes.
In areas like Erriottwood, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

FAQs for Erriottwood
Do you cover Erriottwood and the area around Teynham station?
Yes, we cover Erriottwood and the area towards Teynham station, about 2.5 miles north-east.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
It doesn’t always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.

Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Options to consider in Erriottwood

Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
