FAQs for Pegwell
Do older homes in Pegwell have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Pegwell?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.

Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
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.
Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- How much there is
- Licensed or non-licensed
- How many samples are needed
- Material and condition
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Sending photos
A few photos can save a site visit:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- An overall view
- Street parking nearby
- A clear close-up
Unsure whether you need a test, a survey or removal? Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form, and we will advise.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If your business premises in Pegwell were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Materials we deal with
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Typical removal jobs in Pegwell
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so buildings across Kent built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Asbestos found during building work
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Loft water tanks
If you’re on or near the A299, tell us about parking and loading.
