How asbestos removal works in South Street
In homes, in South Street as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, which still means proper controls. Typical materials include water tanks, gutters and downpipes and cement soffits, and typical jobs are flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and cement water tanks in lofts.
In areas like South Street, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Looking after things afterwards
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
To avoid problems in future:
- Share any survey or test results
- Tell us about parking and access
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Avoid these
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Weighing up your options
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Questions from South Street
How far is South Street from London?
We cover South Street, about 22 miles from central London.
Do you cover South Street and the area around Meopham station?
Yes, we cover South Street and the area towards Meopham station, about 2.4 miles north.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs do not normally affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
