Removing asbestos around Way
Way is about 3 miles west of Ramsgate, in Kent. We cover Way as part of Kent, for removal jobs of every size. We cover 922 places in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. We work right across the region, from Way to Canterbury (about 12 miles away).
In older properties in Way, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan. In a school like Minster Church of England Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use. Way is within about 4 miles of the coast; on exposed coastal sites, wind affects when outdoor removal can go ahead.

Way: your questions answered
Could my house in Way contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Way?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can I stay at home during removal?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
After we’ve finished in Way
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Don’ts
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Materials, one by one
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Which option is right?
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and disposal still has to be done properly. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
