FAQs for St Lawrence
Is asbestos common in St Lawrence homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in St Lawrence can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is St Lawrence from London?
We cover St Lawrence, about 65 miles from central London.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.
How much does asbestos removal cost in St Lawrence?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. Every job gets a written quote.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The removal method depends on the material.
What affects the price in St Lawrence
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos removal:
- Parking and access charges
- Access to the area
- Disposal costs
- What the material is and its state
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Photos that help
Helpful photos:
- Damaged areas
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- The parking area
- An overall view
Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Which option is right?
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 typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why us?
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Written quotes that say what’s included

St Lawrence is about 1 mile west of Ramsgate, in Kent. We work across St Lawrence and the surrounding area, from older terraces and semis to flats, workplaces and outbuildings. St Lawrence is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. We work right across the region, from St Lawrence to Canterbury (about 14 miles away).
For properties on main roads such as the A255, we plan parking and loading in advance. Older buildings in St Lawrence, near Church of St Laurence or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal. St Lawrence is within about a mile of the coast; on exposed coastal sites, wind affects when outdoor removal can go ahead.

Materials we deal with
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
After the job
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Tell us about parking and access
Don’ts
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
