Highsted properties and asbestos removal
Highsted is about 2 miles south of Sittingbourne, in Kent. We work across Highsted and the surrounding area, on everything from houses and flats to workplaces and garages. Highsted is one of 922 places in Kent where we work. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 15 miles away.

At a school such as Rodmersham School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty. Parts of the Kent Downs National Landscape are within about 6 miles of Highsted. Rural removal jobs nearby often mean planning access across yards and fields.

Should you do it yourself?
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.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Highsted: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Highsted?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Highsted contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor jobs do not generally affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Do you work in Highsted?
We do: Highsted is within the area we cover in Kent. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are normally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
After the job
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it in advance.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Let us know where we can park
- Book the replacement before removal
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Things not to do
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
