Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Where asbestos turns up
Damage from DIY, storms or accidents can make removal necessary.
These come up again and again:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Old cold water tanks
- Garage roofs and whole garages

If you let property near Teynham station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.

Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.

What it costs

Do older homes in Tonge have asbestos?
Any home in Tonge 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.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
