Asbestos removal in Middle Stoke
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. Typical jobs include old cold water tanks and broken sheets in gardens, including cement soffits, water tanks and floor tiles.
In a village like Middle Stoke, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Typical removal jobs in Middle Stoke
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Medway may contain it.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Artex before plastering
- Asbestos found during building work
- Asbestos garages
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
In older buildings across Middle Stoke, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan.
Questions to ask before booking

Common questions in Middle Stoke
Is asbestos common in Middle Stoke homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Middle Stoke?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What happens to the waste?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
