About our asbestos removal in Reculver
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Whether it’s textured coatings and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles, we deal with water tanks, gutters and downpipes and cement roof sheets.
Rural removal near Reculver can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Materials in Reculver
- Gutters and downpipes

- Artex and textured coatings
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Water tanks
- Floor tiles and adhesive

Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Where asbestos turns up
Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Asbestos found during building work
- Loft water tanks
Older buildings in Reculver, near St Mary's Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.
Questions to ask before booking
- How fibres will be kept down
- VAT, clearly stated
- What is not included
- Suitable insurance for the work
Your questions about asbestos removal in Reculver
Do you work near Herne Bay station?
Yes, we cover Reculver and the area towards Herne Bay station, about 3.5 miles west.
Do you cover small places like Reculver?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The right method depends on what the material is.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What happens to the waste?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note as your record.
How it works
We wear disposable coveralls and suitable respirators, and nobody else enters the work area. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away.
