Asbestos removal near Palm Bay
Removal is planned, not improvised: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed, before anyone starts. Typical materials include cement soffits, gutters and downpipes and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are asbestos garages and debris left from a previous job.
In towns and villages like Palm Bay, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Common questions in Palm Bay
Do you cover Palm Bay and the area around Margate station?
Yes, we cover Palm Bay and the area towards Margate station, about 1.8 miles west.
Do you come out to small villages like Palm Bay?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
How do I get a quote?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The removal method depends on the material.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.

Options to consider in Palm Bay
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. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

For businesses and landlords in Palm Bay
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
After we’ve finished in Palm Bay
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
To avoid problems in future:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell us about any previous survey
Avoid these
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
What we deal with in Palm Bay
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, although sound material can often stay.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Old cold water tanks
If you let property near Margate station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.
