Removal jobs in Hoath
Hoath is about 3 miles south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. Hoath has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. We work in all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages.
Landlords near Herne Bay station often time removal for when a property is empty. Older buildings in Hoath, near Church of the Holy Cross or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first. Hoath is within about 4 miles of the coast, where exposed sites can be windy, so outdoor removal is planned around the forecast.

FAQs for Hoath
Could my house in Hoath contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Hoath may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Hoath and the area around Herne Bay station?
Yes, we cover Hoath and the area towards Herne Bay station, about 2.9 miles north-west.
How can I get a price?
Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Hoath?
There is no fixed price: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Looking after things afterwards
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
To avoid problems in future:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Send photos of the material and the access
What to avoid
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
