Asbestos removal for Well Head properties
Higher-risk materials such as pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence. We’ll tell you if your job in Well Head falls into that category. We often deal with cement roof sheets, water tanks and cement soffits, and typical jobs are materials found mid-project and garage roofs and whole garages.
In Well Head, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Well Head properties and asbestos removal
Well Head is about 6 miles east of Canterbury, in Kent. In Well Head, we hear from homeowners, landlords and businesses about all kinds of jobs. We work in 922 places across Kent. We work right across the region, from Well Head to Canterbury (6 miles away).
For non-domestic buildings like Wingham Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty. In older properties in Well Head, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.

After the job
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it proves legal disposal.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Share any survey or test results
- Tell us about parking and access
- File the consignment note
Avoid these
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Well Head must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work

Choosing the right option
Remove, or leave and manage? Sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is usually right. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
