About our asbestos removal in Patrixbourne
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is typically non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. From Artex ceilings before renovation and asbestos found during building work, we deal with floor tiles, gutters and downpipes and flue pipes and more.
In towns and villages like Patrixbourne, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is usually separate
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Which option is right?

For businesses and landlords in Patrixbourne
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Afterwards
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, as the method may need to change.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Let us know where we can park
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Avoid these
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
