Asbestos removal in Hawthorn
If your builder has found suspect material in Hawthorn, stop work in that area and keep people away. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. People often contact us about outbuildings with cement roofs and loft water tanks, involving textured coatings, flue pipes and water tanks.
In a village like Hawthorn, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Materials, one by one
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, usually tightly bound.
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, 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 advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Hawthorn properties and asbestos removal
Hawthorn is about 2 miles east of Herne Bay, in Kent. Hawthorn has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Hawthorn is one of 922 places in Kent where we work. We work right across the region, from Hawthorn to Canterbury (7 miles away).
If you let property near Herne Bay station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal. On busy roads like the A299, loading the waste needs planning, so mention it, as main roads can be restricted. The coast is within about 3 miles of Hawthorn, where exposed sites can be windy, so outdoor removal is planned around the forecast.
We handle removal jobs in every part of CT6 and CT3. Local streets include Campion Avenue, Sweechbridge Road and Heart in Hand Road; we cover every one. Being close to the A299, Hawthorn is easy for us to reach. We also carry out removal jobs in Hillborough (1 mile north-west), Highstead (1 mile south), Bishopstone (1 mile north), Broomfield (1 mile west) and Beltinge (1 mile north-west). Further out, we also cover Canterbury (7 miles south-west), Margate (9 miles east), Ramsgate (10 miles east), Broadstairs (11 miles east), Whitstable (6 miles west) and Deal (14 miles south-east).
