Asbestos removal near Goodnestone
Asbestos removal in Goodnestone
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. Common materials are textured coatings, floor tiles and flue pipes, and people usually contact us about asbestos found during building work and debris left from a previous job.
In areas like Goodnestone, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Where asbestos turns up
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Garage roof sheets
- Loft water tanks
- Broken sheets in gardens
Landlords near Faversham station often time removal for when a property is empty.
Questions to ask before booking
- How fibres will be kept down
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
After the job
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it proves legal disposal.
Keeping things safe:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Avoid these
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with sanders or grinders.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Which option is right?
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Why people choose us
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it

Take a look at our prices page and the cost guide.
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Common questions in Goodnestone
Do you work near Faversham station?
Yes, we cover Goodnestone and the area towards Faversham station, about 1.9 miles west.
Is asbestos common in Goodnestone homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Goodnestone can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Can I stay at home during removal?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
