Asbestos removal in Strood
What we deal with in Strood
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
In older properties, we often see:
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Old cold water tanks
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Garage roofs and whole garages
For non-domestic buildings like Rolvenden Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

About our asbestos removal in Strood
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is typically non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, which still means proper controls. Whether it’s asbestos garages and broken sheets in gardens, we cover cement soffits, water tanks and cement roof sheets and more.
Rural removal near Strood can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Weighing up your options
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and disposal still has to be done properly. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.

Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with sanders or grinders.
After we have finished in Strood
File the waste paperwork safely: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
Once we’re done:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Let us know where we can park
What to avoid
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

Questions from Strood
Is asbestos common in Strood homes?
Any home in Strood built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Strood from London?
Strood is about 44 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
What we do and don’t cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Making good is normally a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
