Asbestos removal near Speed Gate
You don’t always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will say so. Whether it’s old cold water tanks and Artex before plastering, we cover cement soffits, floor tiles and gutters and downpipes.
In Speed Gate, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Common questions in Speed Gate
Could my house in Speed Gate contain asbestos?
If your home in Speed Gate was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Longfield station?
Yes, we cover Speed Gate and the area towards Longfield station, about 2.3 miles north-east.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do you cover Speed Gate?
We do: Speed Gate is within the area we cover in Kent. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
For businesses and landlords in Speed Gate
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Speed Gate 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.
Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date

If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
