Asbestos help in Tyler Hill
Asbestos removal near Tyler Hill
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. Whether it’s Artex before plastering and cement water tanks in lofts, we deal with cement roof sheets, flue pipes and cement soffits and more.
Rural removal near Tyler Hill can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. We only recommend work that is needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Asbestos removal in Tyler Hill: local notes
Tyler Hill is about 2 miles north of Canterbury, in Kent. Properties in Tyler Hill range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. We work in 922 places in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages.
In a school like Blean Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use. In older buildings across Tyler Hill, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal. Tyler Hill is within about 5 miles of the coast; on exposed coastal sites, wind affects when outdoor removal can go ahead.
Here we cover the CT2 postcode area, and your removal job can be anywhere in it. That could mean a property on St Johns Crescent, Link Road and Summer Lane or the roads around them. Neighbouring places we cover include Hackington (1 mile south-east), Blean (1 mile west), Honey Hill (2 miles west), Radfall (2 miles north) and Denstroude (2 miles west). Within a short drive, we also work in Ashford (15 miles south-west), Margate (15 miles east), Dover (15 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (15 miles west), Ramsgate (15 miles east) and Whitstable (3 miles north-west).
Well-known places in the area include Whitefriars Shopping Centre (2.2 miles south) and Canterbury Castle (2.2 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Blean Woods RSPB Reserve.
- Local schools include The Archbishop's School (1 mile south) and St Edmund's School (1.2 miles south)
What’s included, and what isn’t
A few things to be aware of:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Flue pipes
- Soffits (cement)
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Bitumen roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Panels and boards
- Water tanks
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Choosing the right option
Remove, or leave and manage? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garage roofs and whole garages

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

Tyler Hill questions
How far is Tyler Hill from London?
We cover Tyler Hill, about 52 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Tyler Hill?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally are not licensed.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
