Asbestos removal near Iwade
You don’t always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll say so. Whether it’s old waste on site and Artex before plastering, we deal with cement roof sheets, cement soffits and water tanks and more.
In areas like Iwade, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, with access through the garden or drive. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
The scope of asbestos removal
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
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Your options compared
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Looking after things afterwards
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, because the plan may need to change.
Some practical advice:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Book the replacement before removal
- File the consignment note
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Things not to do
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so buildings across Kent built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Garage roof sheets
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Floor tiles before a new floor
In a school like Iwade School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Iwade
Do you work near Kemsley station?
Yes. Kemsley station is about 1 mile south of Iwade, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Iwade have asbestos?
If your home in Iwade was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What does removal cost?
Every job is priced individually: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
