Asbestos removal in Frindsbury
Removal isn’t always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll say so. People often contact us about garage roofs and whole garages and old floor tiles and black adhesive, including floor tiles, gutters and downpipes and cement soffits.
Properties in places like Frindsbury with larger plots may have several outbuildings with cement roofs, which can often be dealt with together. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

How we price asbestos removal
When we quote, we look at:
- How easy it is to reach
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Waste quantity and disposal
- What the material is and its state
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A wide shot showing where the material is

Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
For businesses and landlords in Frindsbury
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Common questions in Frindsbury
Do you cover Frindsbury and the area around Strood station?
Yes. Strood station is close to the centre of Frindsbury, and we cover the whole area.
Could my house in Frindsbury contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Frindsbury may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs do not normally affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
