Asbestos removal for Kent Street properties
You don’t always have to remove asbestos. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will tell you honestly when that is the case. Typical jobs include sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and finds during refurbishment, including cement roof sheets, floor tiles and textured coatings.
In a village like Kent Street, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Kent Street: your questions answered
Do you cover Kent Street from London?
Kent Street is about 26 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Wateringbury station?
Yes. Wateringbury station is about 2.1 miles south-east of Kent Street, and we cover both.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
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.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, typically tightly bound.
