Asbestos removal for Rodmersham properties
Removal isn’t always the answer. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll tell you honestly when that’s the case. Whether it’s old waste on site and outbuildings with cement roofs, we deal with flue pipes, textured coatings and cement soffits.
In a village like Rodmersham, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

FAQs for Rodmersham
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 cover Rodmersham and the area around Sittingbourne station?
Yes, we cover Rodmersham and the area towards Sittingbourne station, about 1.8 miles north-west.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The removal method depends on the material.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Afterwards
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
A few practical points:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Share any survey or test results
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
Don’ts
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
