About our asbestos removal in Tilmanstone
Found asbestos during building work in Tilmanstone? Stop work in that area and keep people away. We will identify it and plan what happens next. Common materials are flue pipes, cement roof sheets and water tanks, and typical jobs are old cold water tanks and old floor tiles and black adhesive.

Duty holders and landlords in Tilmanstone
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Tilmanstone, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.

Why people call us in Tilmanstone
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so buildings across Kent built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
In older properties, we often see:
- Finds during refurbishment
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Old waste on site
- Floor tiles before a new floor
Older buildings in Tilmanstone, near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Tilmanstone
Do you cover Tilmanstone from London?
We cover Tilmanstone, about 63 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Tilmanstone?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Materials we deal with
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, typically tightly bound.
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed? The material and the job decide. Our guide explains the difference, with links to HSE’s pages. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
