About our asbestos removal in Mountain Street
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, because the method depends on the material. Common materials are cement roof sheets, water tanks and textured coatings, and people normally contact us about asbestos garages and broken sheets in gardens.
In Mountain Street, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Mountain Street properties and asbestos removal
Mountain Street is about 6 miles south-west of Canterbury, in Kent. We cover Mountain Street as part of Kent, for removal jobs of every size. Mountain Street is one of 922 places in Kent where we work. Our area stretches from Mountain Street to Canterbury (6 miles away).
If you let property near Chilham station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal. At a school such as Chilham, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty. Mountain Street is within about 4 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape; removing asbestos from rural buildings there follows the same rules, with access across yards and fields to plan.

Where asbestos turns up
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, although sound material can often stay.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Artex before plastering
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Old flues
In older properties in Mountain Street, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Before booking anyone
- What category of work it is
- Suitable insurance for the work
- The scope of the job, in writing
- What paperwork you get
The process
We unfix materials and take them out in whole pieces where we can, without breaking, dropping or power tools. When we’re done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows. In winter, the light goes in Mountain Street by about 3:50pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Tell us what needs removing and send photos
- We test the material if needed
- We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a quote
- On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can
- We clean up, dispose of the waste legally and send the consignment note
Before we arrive
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage

Helpful guides
Mountain Street: your questions answered
Do older homes in Mountain Street have asbestos?
If your home in Mountain Street was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you come out to small villages like Mountain Street?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often 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 generally are not licensed.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
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.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Mountain Street must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
What’s included, and what isn’t
To be clear about the scope:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Water tanks

What else we do in Mountain Street
Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
What it costs
Prices vary with:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- How much there is
- The survey scope
- Location, parking and any London charges
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Photos that help
A few photos can save a site visit:
- Where we could park
- An idea of size
- Visible markings
- A close-up from a safe distance
Photos and a postcode help us quote quickly: just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Options to consider in Mountain Street
Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
