Satmar properties and asbestos removal
Satmar is about 3 miles north-east of Folkestone, in Kent. In Satmar, we hear from homeowners, landlords and businesses. Satmar is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 13 miles away.
If you let property near Folkestone Central station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal. In a school like Capel-le-Ferne Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use. Parts of the Kent Downs National Landscape are within about 6 miles of Satmar; removing asbestos from rural buildings there follows the same rules, with access across yards and fields to plan. Satmar is within about 3 miles of the coast, where exposed sites can be windy, so outdoor removal is planned around the forecast.

Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Tell us about parking and access
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Don’ts
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
What we deal with in Satmar
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, although sound material can often stay.
These are some of the things we deal with in Satmar:
- Garage roof sheets
- Old waste on site
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Asbestos found during building work
In older buildings across Satmar, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.

Helpful guides
Weighing up your options
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Take a look at how we price jobs or published price ranges.
Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
What it costs
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Parking and access charges
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Sending photos
The most useful photos are:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Approximate dimensions
- The parking area
- How we’d reach it

Questions from Satmar
Do you cover Satmar and the area around Folkestone Central station?
Yes, we cover Satmar and the area towards Folkestone Central station, about 3 miles south-west.
Do you cover Satmar from London?
We cover Satmar, about 63 miles from central London.
What does removal cost?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Satmar must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
