Asbestos removal for Eythorne
How asbestos removal works in Eythorne
You do not always have to remove asbestos. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll say so. From cement flues and gutters and loft water tanks, we deal with floor tiles, textured coatings and cement roof sheets.
Rural removal near Eythorne can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Eythorne
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you come out to small villages like Eythorne?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Where does the asbestos go?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site, with a consignment note as your record.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Eythorne?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is generally needed.

Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, typically tightly bound.
Typical removal jobs in Eythorne
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
These are some of the things we deal with in Eythorne:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Textured coatings
- Garage roofs and whole garages
Older buildings in Eythorne, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.

DIY and asbestos
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.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
