Asbestos removal near Woodchurch
Asbestos removal for Woodchurch properties
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. Common materials are floor tiles, textured coatings and cement soffits, and typical jobs are garage roofs and whole garages and cement water tanks in lofts.
In a village like Woodchurch, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
The scope of asbestos removal
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and does not cover:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is normally separate
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

For businesses and landlords in Woodchurch
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Where asbestos turns up
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so buildings across Kent built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
These are some of the things we deal with in Woodchurch:
- Debris left from a previous job
- Artex before plastering
- Loft water tanks
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
At a school such as Woodchurch Church of England Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work

Your questions about asbestos removal in Woodchurch
Do you work near Appledore (Kent) station?
Yes, we cover Woodchurch and the area towards Appledore (Kent) station, about 3.5 miles south-east.
Could my house in Woodchurch contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Woodchurch may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
