Asbestos removal in Stelling Minnis
Asbestos removal for Stelling Minnis properties
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. We often deal with flue pipes, cement soffits and floor tiles, and typical jobs are old cold water tanks and old waste on site.
In towns and villages like Stelling Minnis, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

The scope of asbestos removal
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

FAQs for Stelling Minnis
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do older homes in Stelling Minnis have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Stelling Minnis can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Can I stay at home during removal?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
