About our asbestos removal in North Street
Asbestos removal in North Street covers homes, rental property and workplaces: garage roofs, flues, water tanks, Artex and floor tiles among them. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. Typical jobs include vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and materials found mid-project, involving cement roof sheets, gutters and downpipes and floor tiles.
In North Street, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Your options compared
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and disposal still has to be done properly. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.

What it costs
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos removal:

Common questions in North Street
Do older homes in North Street have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover North Street and the area around Faversham station?
Yes. Faversham station is about 1.8 miles north of North Street, and we cover both.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
