Tunstall questions
Is asbestos common in Tunstall homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Tunstall?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
What happens to the waste?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site, and you receive the consignment note.
Do you cover Tunstall?
We do: our area includes Tunstall and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can normally stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.

Removing asbestos around Tunstall
Tunstall is about 1 mile south-west of Sittingbourne, in Kent. Tunstall has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. Tunstall is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. We work right across the region, from Tunstall to Canterbury (16 miles away).
At a school such as Tunstall Church of England (Aided) Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty. For rentals close to Sittingbourne station, removal fits neatly between tenancies. Tunstall is within about 6 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape; removing asbestos from rural buildings there follows the same rules, with access across yards and fields to plan.

Materials, one by one
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Good to know
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Materials in Tunstall
- Soffits (cement)
- Gutters and downpipes
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Bitumen roof felt
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
- Panels and boards
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Flue pipes
- Water tanks
Typical removal jobs in Tunstall
Materials deteriorate with age: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is often when people decide to remove them.
In older properties, we often see:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
Older buildings in Tunstall, near Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.

Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is normally a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Send photos of the material and the access
- File the consignment note
What to avoid
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
