FAQs for Kearsney
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do older homes in Kearsney have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Kearsney can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
How do I get a quote?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Asbestos removal near Kearsney
If your builder has found suspect material in Kearsney, stop work in that area and keep people away. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. Common materials are floor tiles, gutters and downpipes and cement soffits, and typical jobs are vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and garage roof sheets.
In a smaller place like Kearsney, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, with access through the garden or drive. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

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.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Share any survey or test results
- Let us know where we can park
Avoid these
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Where asbestos turns up
Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Cement flues and gutters
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Artex ceilings before renovation
For rentals close to Kearsney station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Which option is right?
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and disposal still has to be done properly. The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
