Asbestos help in Godmersham
Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
About our asbestos removal in Godmersham
If your builder has found suspect material in Godmersham, stop work in that area and keep people away. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. From sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and broken sheets in gardens, we cover flue pipes, textured coatings and water tanks.
In places like Godmersham, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Limits to be aware of
Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it does not:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is usually separate
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.

- Panels and boards

Where asbestos turns up
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
In older properties, we often see:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Old flues
- Finds during refurbishment
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
In older properties in Godmersham, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.

Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
How we price asbestos removal
We base our quote on:
- The size of the job
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Access to the area
- The category of work
Our quotes are clear about VAT.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- Street parking nearby
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Damaged areas
- Approximate dimensions
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page; it helps us quote accurately.
Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Share any survey or test results
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
What to avoid
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.

Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Questions from Godmersham
Do older homes in Godmersham have asbestos?
Any home in Godmersham built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Godmersham from London?
Godmersham is about 50 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Godmersham?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
