Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Asbestos removal for Lynsted properties
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, with a consignment note for your records. Whether it’s old flues and asbestos found during building work, we deal with flue pipes, floor tiles and cement soffits and more.
In Lynsted, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Common questions in Lynsted
Do older homes in Lynsted have asbestos?
Any home in Lynsted built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
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.
What does removal cost?
Every job is priced individually: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.

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.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Book the replacement before removal
- File the consignment note
- Share any survey or test results
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Don’ts
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Where asbestos turns up
Old materials break down over time: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is often when people decide to remove them.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Old waste on site
- Cement flues and gutters
For rentals close to Teynham station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.
Comparing quotes
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles
Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
How we price asbestos removal
The cost depends on:
- Travel and parking
- The survey scope
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Waste quantity and disposal
A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
What to photograph
The most useful photos are:
- Approximate dimensions
- Visible markings
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- The parking area
