Removing asbestos around Woodland
Woodland is about 4 miles north of Hythe, in Kent. Woodland has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. Woodland is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our area stretches from Woodland to Canterbury (about 10 miles away).
At a school such as Lyminge Church of England Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty. Woodland is within about 3 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. The coast is within about 5 miles of Woodland, where exposed sites can be windy, so outdoor removal is planned around the forecast.
We cover removal jobs across the CT18 postcode area and the streets around it. Nearby, we also cover Skeete (1 mile south-west), Hemsted (1 mile north-west), Lyminge (1 mile east), Rhodes Minnis (1 mile north-east) and Ottinge (1 mile east). We also cover nearby towns such as Ashford (9 miles west), Canterbury (10 miles north), Dover (10 miles east), Folkestone (5 miles south-east), Whitstable (15 miles north) and Deal (15 miles east).
Nearby you will also find Royal Victoria Hospital (5.6 miles south-east) and Saltwood Castle (3.6 miles south). The countryside around Woodland includes Tolsford Hill.
Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
What it might be made of
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
What happens
As each piece comes out, it’s bagged or wrapped and labelled, ready to go to a permitted site. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. In winter, the light goes in Woodland by about 3:50pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We confirm what the material is and what category of work it falls into
- A written quote follows, covering method, controls and disposal
- We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can
- We clean the area and send the consignment note
Getting ready
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Clear the way to the work area
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone

Common reasons for removal jobs in Woodland

- Which areas and materials are covered

Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Choosing the right option
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Woodland
Do you cover small places like Woodland?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Woodland and the area around Westenhanger station?
Yes. Westenhanger station is about 2.9 miles south-west of Woodland, and we cover both.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Woodland?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
