How asbestos removal works in Moor Street
Removal is planned, not improvised: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed. Whether it’s old floor tiles and black adhesive and loft water tanks, we deal with cement roof sheets, textured coatings and gutters and downpipes.
Rural removal near Moor Street can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Moor Street
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Materials found mid-project
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Asbestos garages
At a school such as Leigh Academy Rainham, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.

Moor Street: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Moor Street?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Moor Street and the area around Rainham (Kent) station?
Yes, we cover Moor Street and the area towards Rainham (Kent) station, about 0.8 miles north-west.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
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.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Prices and what affects them
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos removal:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- What the material is and its state
- The category of work
- How much waste there is
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you manage or own a block in Moor Street, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
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.
