Asbestos removal for Radfield properties
Removal isn’t always the answer. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will say so. We often deal with textured coatings, cement roof sheets and floor tiles, and typical jobs are Artex before plastering and old sheds and coal bunkers.
In towns and villages like Radfield, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Your options compared
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and disposal still has to be done properly. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why us?
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Accredited laboratory results
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Covering London and the South East

Questions from Radfield
Do you work near Teynham station?
Yes, we cover Radfield and the area towards Teynham station, about 0.9 miles east.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are normally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor jobs do not generally affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
What happens to the waste?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you receive the consignment note.
What we deal with in Radfield
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so buildings across Kent built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Old cold water tanks
- Textured coatings
- Debris left from a previous job
At a school such as Teynham Parochial Church of England Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
Before booking anyone
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- What paperwork you get
A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Responsibilities for owners
For managing agents and freeholders in Radfield, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
