Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
What else we do in Skeete
Options to consider in Skeete
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Skeete
Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Loft water tanks
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Cement flues and gutters
- Finds during refurbishment
At a school such as Stowting Church of England Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.

Skeete questions
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do older homes in Skeete have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Skeete can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
