About our asbestos removal in Manston
If your builder has found suspect material in Manston, stop work in that area and keep people away. We’ll identify it and plan what happens next. People often contact us about garage roofs and whole garages and broken sheets in gardens, including floor tiles, textured coatings and water tanks.
In a village like Manston, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Typical removal jobs in Manston
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Kent may contain it.
In older properties, we often see:
- Materials found mid-project
- Old waste on site
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Floor tiles before a new floor
In older buildings across Manston, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.
Before you book anyone
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Whether the job needs notifying
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
Which option is right?
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.

Questions from Manston
Do you come out to small villages like Manston?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How far is Manston from London?
We cover Manston, about 64 miles from central London.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs do not usually affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It varies: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Good to know
So you know what to expect:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Making good is normally a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

- Panels and boards
- Asbestos cement sheets

Prices and what affects them
When we quote, we look at:

- Parking and access charges
- How easy it is to reach

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you manage or own a block in Manston, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
