About our asbestos removal in Hales Place
Removal is planned, not improvised: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed. From textured coatings and broken sheets in gardens, we cover flue pipes, cement soffits and water tanks.
In a smaller place like Hales Place, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, reached through gardens and drives. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Questions from Hales Place
Could my house in Hales Place contain asbestos?
Any home in Hales Place 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 work near Canterbury West station?
Yes, we cover Hales Place and the area towards Canterbury West station, about 0.8 miles south.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do you cover Hales Place?
Yes, we do: our area includes Hales Place and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What we do and do not cover
So you know what to expect:
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Materials we deal with
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If your business premises in Hales Place were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Looking after things afterwards
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, because the plan may need to change.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Share any survey or test results
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Things not to do
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
