Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, which is typically well bound.
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with sanders or grinders.
Asbestos removal for Ramsgate properties
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified. People often contact us about finds during refurbishment and old waste on site, involving floor tiles, textured coatings and cement roof sheets.
In a town like Ramsgate, removal jobs are often garage roofs, sheds, flues, tanks and textured coatings in homes, often ahead of building work. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

If you manage or own a block in Ramsgate, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Ramsgate
Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is when removal comes up.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Garage roof sheets
- Artex before plastering
- Debris left from a previous job

Your questions about asbestos removal in Ramsgate
Is asbestos common in Ramsgate homes?
Any home in Ramsgate built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Ramsgate station?
Yes, we cover Ramsgate, including the streets around Ramsgate station.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What affects the price in Ramsgate
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- The category of work
- How much waste there is
- The size of the job
- Access to the area
When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
Helping us quote
When you send photos, these help most:
- The parking area
- A clear close-up
- An idea of size
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
For a quote, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, the material and some photos.
Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
