Asbestos removal in Hampton
Hampton questions
Could my house in Hampton contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Hampton and the area around Herne Bay station?
Yes. Herne Bay station is about 1 mile south-east of Hampton, and we cover both.
Do I need to move out?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
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.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Asbestos removal near Hampton
We remove asbestos from homes, rented property and commercial buildings across Hampton: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Every job is planned to HSE guidance, with the waste taken to a permitted site. We often deal with textured coatings, cement roof sheets and cement soffits, and typical jobs are vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and finds during refurbishment.
Properties in places like Hampton with larger plots can have more than one cement-roofed building, which can often be dealt with together. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

What we do and do not cover

If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

- Artex and textured coatings
- Panels and boards
- Gutters and downpipes
- Soffits (cement)
- Bitumen roof felt
- Garage and shed roofs
- Water tanks

Materials, one by one
Floor tiles
Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is normally well bound.
For businesses and landlords in Hampton
If you manage or own a block in Hampton, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
After the job
File the waste paperwork safely: it proves legal disposal.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Let us know where we can park
- Book the replacement before removal
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- File the consignment note
Avoid these
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Why people call us in Hampton
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- Finds during refurbishment
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Debris left from a previous job
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
In older properties in Hampton, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.
