In places like Monkton, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Typical removal jobs in Monkton
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Kent may contain it.
These come up again and again:
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Old flues
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
At a school such as Monkton Church of England Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory

Materials, one by one
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.

Questions from Monkton
Could my house in Monkton contain asbestos?
Any home in Monkton 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 cover Monkton from London?
Monkton is about 60 miles from central London, well within our area.
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 aren’t licensed.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Monkton?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The right method depends on what the material is.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
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.
