Asbestos removal near Lewson Street
Asbestos removal for Lewson Street properties
You do not always have to remove asbestos. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll say so. From outbuildings with cement roofs and Artex ceilings before renovation, we cover water tanks, textured coatings and gutters and downpipes and more.
Rural removal near Lewson Street can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
A closer look at the materials
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
What happens
Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, then loaded for disposal at a permitted site. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away. We plan outdoor jobs in Lewson Street to finish before dark: that means by about 3:50pm in December, or about 9:15pm in June.

Which option is right?
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why people choose us
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations

FAQs for Lewson Street
Do you cover Lewson Street and the area around Teynham station?
Yes, we cover Lewson Street and the area towards Teynham station, about 1.3 miles north-west.
Do you cover Lewson Street from London?
Lewson Street is about 41 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Lewson Street?
There is no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that won’t be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
