Asbestos removal for Oad Street
Typical removal jobs in Oad Street
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so buildings across Kent built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
These come up again and again:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Finds during refurbishment
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Garage roof sheets
Older buildings in Oad Street, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.

Asbestos removal in Oad Street
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is usually non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, which still means proper controls. People often contact us about materials found mid-project and old floor tiles and black adhesive, including cement roof sheets, flue pipes and cement soffits.
In Oad Street, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Materials we deal with
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Which option is right?
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Why people choose us
- Written quotes that say what’s included

Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
How we price asbestos removal
The cost depends on:
- How many samples are needed
- How much waste there is
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Licensed or non-licensed
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Sending photos
When you send photos, these help most:
- Where we could park
- A clear close-up
- How we’d reach it
- Damaged areas
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you are planning. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Common questions in Oad Street
Is asbestos common in Oad Street homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the method depends on what the material is.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
