About our asbestos removal in Teynham
You do not always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll say so. Whether it’s outbuildings with cement roofs and finds during refurbishment, we deal with gutters and downpipes, textured coatings and flue pipes and more.
Homes in Teynham with bigger gardens can have more than one cement-roofed building. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

For businesses and landlords in Teynham
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
How it works
Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, ready to go to a permitted site. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next. We plan outdoor jobs in Teynham to finish before dark: in late December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:15pm.
- Share photos, the postcode and any survey or test you have
- We identify the material and work out whether the job is licensed, notifiable or non-licensed
- We quote in writing, including the waste
- We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can
- Everything is cleaned up, and the waste paperwork follows
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Keep the area clear of children and pets

FAQs for Teynham

Do you cover Teynham and the area around Teynham station?

Do you work in flats?

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.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.

Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
