Asbestos removal near Tenterden
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. Typical jobs include loft water tanks and outbuildings with cement roofs, involving floor tiles, water tanks and flue pipes.
In a smaller place like Tenterden, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, reached through gardens and drives. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Tenterden: your questions answered
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do older homes in Tenterden have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
How do I know if my property contains 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.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
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.
Afterwards
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, so future trades know about it.
Some practical advice:
- File the consignment note
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Tell us about parking and access
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Your options compared
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
Good to know
Some limits to bear in mind:
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Common materials
- Soffits (cement)
- Panels and boards
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Flue pipes
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Water tanks
- Bitumen roof felt
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Gutters and downpipes
Where asbestos turns up
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, although sound material can often stay.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Textured coatings
For non-domestic buildings like Tenterden Infant School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
