DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Typical removal jobs in Hoo St Werburgh
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so buildings across Medway built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
These come up again and again:
- Old cold water tanks
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
In a school like Hoo St Werburgh Primary School and Marlborough Centre, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.

Questions from Hoo St Werburgh
Do older homes in Hoo St Werburgh have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Hoo St Werburgh may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Hoo St Werburgh from London?
Hoo St Werburgh is about 29 miles from central London, well within our area.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Where does the asbestos go?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site, with a consignment note as your record.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
