Asbestos removal for Sturry
Weighing up your options
Should it come out? Sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Why people choose us
- Reports and results you can share
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Accredited laboratory results

Asbestos removal for Sturry properties
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. Typical materials include cement roof sheets, cement soffits and floor tiles, and people usually contact us about old sheds and coal bunkers and finds during refurbishment.
Homes in Sturry with bigger gardens may have several outbuildings with cement roofs. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Floor tiles
Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.
Sturry: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Sturry homes?
Any home in Sturry built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Sturry from London?
We cover Sturry, about 54 miles from central London.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Sturry?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs do not generally affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Do you work in Sturry?
Yes, we do: Sturry is within the area we cover in Kent. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
What happens next
File the waste paperwork safely: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Share any survey or test results
- Book the replacement before removal
- Let us know where we can park
Don’ts
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
What happens
Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, then loaded for disposal at a permitted site. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and use controls to keep dust down. In winter, the light goes in Sturry by about 3:50pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Send us the postcode and photos
- We work out what category the work falls into
- We book the work and notify if required
- On the day we set up, remove and bag the material
- The waste goes to a permitted site with a consignment note
How to prepare
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
How to get a quote
Every job is quoted in writing. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page with the details, including any survey or test you already have.

Sturry properties and asbestos removal
Sturry is about 3 miles north-east of Canterbury, in Kent. We work across Sturry and the surrounding area, on everything from houses and flats to workplaces and garages. Sturry is one of 922 places in Kent where we work.
For non-domestic buildings like Sturry Church of England Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty. Older buildings in Sturry, near St Nicholas' Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan. Sturry is within about 5 miles of the coast, where exposed sites can be windy, so outdoor removal is planned around the forecast.
We cover removal jobs across the CT2 postcode area and the streets around it. Streets in the area include High Street, Park View and Link Road, and asbestos removal is available on all of them. Neighbouring places we cover include Broad Oak (1 mile west), Westbere (1 mile east), Calcott (1 mile north), Hersden (2 miles east) and Hicks Forstal (2 miles north). We also cover nearby towns such as Canterbury (3 miles south-west), Margate (12 miles north-east), Dover (14 miles south-east), Folkestone (15 miles south), Ramsgate (13 miles east) and Broadstairs (14 miles east).
Nearby you’ll also find Canterbury Roman Museum (2.6 miles south-west) and St Martins Hospital (2.1 miles south). Green spaces nearby include West Blean and Thornden Woods.
- Nearby schools include Spires Academy (1.1 miles east) and Frank Montgomery School (1.2 miles east)
- Nearby, you will find The Swan Inn (within half a mile south)
For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
