The scope of asbestos removal
Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it does not:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Bitumen roof felt
- Garage and shed roofs
- Gutters and downpipes
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits (cement)
- Artex and textured coatings
- Water tanks
- Flue pipes
- Panels and boards
Asbestos removal in Greenhill
In homes, in Greenhill 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. People often contact us about debris left from a previous job and asbestos garages, involving water tanks, gutters and downpipes and floor tiles.
In a smaller place like Greenhill, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, with access through the garden or drive. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Removal jobs in Greenhill
Greenhill is about 1 mile south-west of Herne Bay, in Kent. In Greenhill, we hear from homeowners, landlords and businesses. Greenhill is one of 922 places in Kent where we work. We work right across the region, from Greenhill to Canterbury (about 6 miles away).
For non-domestic buildings like Thornden Wood Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty. Older buildings in Greenhill, near St Peter or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first. Greenhill is within about 2 miles of the coast; on exposed coastal sites, wind affects when outdoor removal can go ahead.
This part of Kent takes in CT6, and your removal job can be anywhere in it.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Greenhill
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, though in good condition it does not always need to go.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Cement flues and gutters
- Old cold water tanks
- Old waste on site
- Floor tiles before a new floor
If you let property near Herne Bay station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.
Before you book anyone

- The method and controls
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
How we price asbestos removal
The cost depends on:
- The survey scope
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- How much waste there is
- The size of the job
Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

For businesses and landlords in Greenhill
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Choosing the right option
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
Why us?
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Accredited laboratory results
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond

DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
After we’ve finished in Greenhill
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, because the plan may need to change.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell us about parking and access
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell us about any previous survey
Things not to do
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Greenhill
Do you cover Greenhill from London?
Greenhill is about 53 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Herne Bay station?
Yes. Herne Bay station is about 0.6 miles north-east of Greenhill, and we cover both.
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.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The removal method depends on the material.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
