Asbestos removal in Highstreet
Found asbestos during building work in Highstreet? Work should stop there and people kept out. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. Typical materials include flue pipes, floor tiles and cement roof sheets, and people typically contact us about Artex ceilings before renovation and floor tiles before a new floor.
In a village like Highstreet, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Do you cover Highstreet and the area around Whitstable station?
Yes. Whitstable station is about 3 miles north-east of Highstreet, and we cover both.
Could my house in Highstreet contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What does removal cost?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. We quote each job individually.
Do you cover Highstreet?

Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do you work on commercial premises?

Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
How we work
As each piece comes out, it’s bagged or wrapped and labelled, ready to go to a permitted site. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away. In winter, the light goes in Highstreet by about 3:50pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

- Parking and access charges

Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Options to consider in Highstreet
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
