Asbestos removal in Kent Street
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, which still means proper controls. Typical jobs include cement flues and gutters and garage roofs and whole garages, including floor tiles, cement soffits and textured coatings.
In towns and villages like Kent Street, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Common questions in Kent Street
Could my house in Kent Street contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Kent Street from London?
Kent Street is about 49 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Kent Street?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The right method depends on what the material is.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.

Where asbestos turns up

- Asbestos garages
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive

Common materials
- Gutters and downpipes

- Bitumen roof felt
- Water tanks
- Flue pipes
- Garage and shed roofs

Materials, one by one
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
How it works
Materials are released carefully and removed whole where possible, without breaking, dropping or power tools. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you. Late-December sunset in Kent Street is about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
