Asbestos removal near Fenn Street
Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
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.
Asbestos removal for Fenn Street properties
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. Typical jobs include old waste on site and asbestos garages, involving water tanks, floor tiles and cement roof sheets.
In towns and villages like Fenn Street, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Questions from Fenn Street
Do you cover Fenn Street from London?
We cover Fenn Street, about 29 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Fenn Street homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Fenn Street may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Fenn Street?
Yes. We cover Fenn Street and the surrounding area as part of Medway. Send us the postcode for a quote.
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.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
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.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor jobs do not typically affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
What we deal with in Fenn Street
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Medway may contain it.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Finds during refurbishment
- Garage roof sheets
- Artex before plastering
At a school such as High Halstow Primary Academy, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
What your quote should include
- The scope of the job, in writing
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- The method and controls
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
What happens next
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is generally a separate job, so plan it in advance.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
Things not to do
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
