What we deal with in Sandwich
Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
These come up again and again:
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Artex before plastering
- Asbestos found during building work
- Garage roof sheets
At a school such as Sandwich Infant School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.

DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The quantity or area
- Material and condition
- How much waste there is
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Sending photos
Photos often save us a visit:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Labels, if any
- Approximate dimensions
- A wide shot showing where the material is
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
How it works
If we find more than expected, or something different, we stop and talk to you, rather than carrying on regardless. The work area is kept clear while we’re working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. Outdoor removal in Sandwich is planned to finish in daylight: that means by about 3:50pm in December, or about 9:15pm in June.
- Tell us what needs removing and send photos
- We test the material if needed
- We plan the job and send a written quote
- We remove the material with controls to keep fibres down

Getting ready
- Make sure we can get to the area
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive

Materials, one by one
Floor tiles
Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Common questions in Sandwich
Do older homes in Sandwich have asbestos?
If your home in Sandwich was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Sandwich and the area around Sandwich station?
Yes. Sandwich station is close to the centre of Sandwich, and we cover the whole area.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do I need to move out?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Choosing the right option
Licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed? The material and the job decide. Our guide explains the difference, with links to HSE’s pages. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
