Asbestos removal in Hollybushes
In homes, in Hollybushes as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. Typical jobs include garage roofs and whole garages and debris left from a previous job, including gutters and downpipes, cement soffits and textured coatings.
In Hollybushes, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Hollybushes questions
Do you cover Hollybushes and the area around Sittingbourne station?
Yes, we cover Hollybushes and the area towards Sittingbourne station, about 3.7 miles north.
Do you cover Hollybushes from London?
We cover Hollybushes, about 39 miles from central London.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Your options compared
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

How we price asbestos removal
The cost depends on:
- Disposal costs
- How much there is
- How easy it is to reach
- Material and condition
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Damaged areas
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- A rough size or measurement
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Limits to be aware of
To be clear about the scope:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
What we deal with
- Bitumen roof felt
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Flue pipes
- Water tanks
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits (cement)
- Panels and boards
- Gutters and downpipes

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you run a business from older premises in Hollybushes, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

Looking after things afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is usually a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Let us know where we can park
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Things not to do
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
