Asbestos removal near Foley Park
Asbestos removal in Foley Park covers homes, rental property and workplaces: garage roofs, flues, water tanks, Artex and floor tiles among them. Every job is planned to HSE guidance, with the waste taken to a permitted site. We often deal with gutters and downpipes, cement roof sheets and textured coatings, and people normally contact us about cement water tanks in lofts and finds during refurbishment.
Properties in areas like Foley Park with larger plots can have more than one cement-roofed building. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
After the job
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is generally a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
Some practical advice:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
What to avoid
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.

Should you do it yourself?

Foley Park questions
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you work near Maidstone East station?
Yes. Maidstone East station is about 0.6 miles south-west of Foley Park, and we cover both.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
The process
Unexpected materials mean we pause and discuss, rather than carrying on regardless. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first. Late-December sunset in Foley Park is about 3:50pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
- Share photos, the postcode and any survey or test you have
- We identify the material and work out whether the job is licensed, notifiable or non-licensed
- A written quote follows, covering method, controls and disposal
- We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can
- We clean the area and send the consignment note
How to prepare
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Clear the way to the work area

For businesses and landlords in Foley Park
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Foley Park, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Foley Park
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Finds during refurbishment
- Garage roof sheets
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
Older buildings in Foley Park, near Church of St Luke or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Whether VAT is included
