How asbestos removal works 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. Common materials are gutters and downpipes, cement soffits and water tanks, and typical jobs are old flues and asbestos found during building work.
In North Street, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Typical removal jobs in North Street
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Loft water tanks
- Old waste on site
- Asbestos found during building work
- Garage roof sheets
If you let property near Gillingham (Kent) station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.

Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
FAQs for North Street
Do you work near Gillingham (Kent) station?
Yes. Gillingham (Kent) station is about 4.2 miles south-west of North Street, and we cover both.
Could my house in North Street contain asbestos?
If your home in North Street was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally aren’t licensed.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
How can I get a price?
Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor jobs do not normally affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles
Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Your options compared
Should it come out? Sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
