Your options compared
Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is typically right. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Why us?

- Quotes that spell out the scope

About our asbestos removal in Yorkletts
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, with a consignment note for your records. People often contact us about debris left from a previous job and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos, involving textured coatings, cement roof sheets and gutters and downpipes.
In a village like Yorkletts, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Good to know
We are upfront about what’s included:
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Common materials
- Soffits (cement)
- Bitumen roof felt
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Flue pipes
- Panels and boards
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Gutters and downpipes
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Water tanks
Common questions in Yorkletts
Is asbestos common in Yorkletts homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Yorkletts may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Yorkletts?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
How do I get a quote?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
What we deal with in Yorkletts
Sometimes damage forces the issue, especially if broken material is lying around.
In older properties, we often see:
- Old waste on site
- Loft water tanks
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Materials found mid-project
At a school such as The Whitstable School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
