Asbestos removal near Romney Street
In homes, in Romney Street as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. Work on these is normally non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. From textured coatings and broken sheets in gardens, we cover water tanks, cement roof sheets and textured coatings.
In Romney Street, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is generally well bound.
Romney Street questions
Do you cover Romney Street and the area around Shoreham (Kent) station?

How can I get a price?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
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, so identifying it before work is important.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Weighing up your options
Licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed? The material and the job decide. See our guide to the three categories. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.

What we deal with in Romney Street
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Old waste on site
For rentals close to Shoreham (Kent) station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.

What happens next
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it proves legal disposal.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Share any survey or test results
- File the consignment note
- Keep children and pets away on the day
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
What affects the price in Romney Street
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- The quantity or area
- Material and condition
- The category of work
- The survey scope
Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
Photos that help
Photos often save us a visit:
- How we’d reach it
- Approximate dimensions
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- The parking area

For businesses and landlords in Romney Street
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
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.
