How asbestos removal works in Godinton
In homes, in Godinton as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, which still means proper controls. Typical jobs include floor tiles before a new floor and old waste on site, including textured coatings, cement roof sheets and flue pipes.
Properties in places like Godinton with larger plots may have several outbuildings with cement roofs, which can often be dealt with together. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Questions from Godinton
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you work near Ashford International station?
Yes. Ashford International station is about 1.4 miles south-east of Godinton, and we cover both.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor jobs don’t generally affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Godinton?
Every job is priced individually: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Options to consider in Godinton
Remove, or leave and manage? Sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is usually right. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.

Materials we deal with
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste can’t 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.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Where asbestos turns up
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across Kent may contain it.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Old cold water tanks
For non-domestic buildings like Godinton Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
What your quote should include
- Any exclusions
- VAT, clearly stated
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
