Asbestos removal in Hoo
Asbestos removal near Hoo
Asbestos removal in Hoo covers homes, rental property and workplaces: garage roofs, flues, water tanks, Artex and floor tiles among them. Every job is planned to HSE guidance, with the waste taken to a permitted site. Typical jobs include old sheds and coal bunkers and old flues, including cement roof sheets, gutters and downpipes and cement soffits.
In towns and villages like Hoo, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

After the job
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Book the replacement before removal
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Tell us about any previous survey
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Which option is right?
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Hoo properties and asbestos removal
Hoo is about 5 miles south-west of Margate, in Kent. We work across Hoo and the surrounding area, on everything from houses and flats to workplaces and garages. We work in 922 places in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 10 miles away.
In older buildings across Hoo, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first. If you let property near Minster station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal. The coast is within about 6 miles of Hoo, where exposed sites can be windy, so outdoor removal is planned around the forecast.

Neighbouring places we cover include Monkton (1 mile west), St Nicholas at Wade (2 miles north-west), Westmarsh (2 miles south-west), East Stourmouth (2 miles south-west) and Sarre (2 miles west).

What does removal cost?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. We quote each job individually.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.

Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
What’s included, and what is not
So you know what to expect:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
- Making good is normally a separate job
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
