Asbestos removal in ME3: what to expect

Licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, and has to be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. We’ll tell you if your job in ME3 falls into that category. We often deal with water tanks, flue pipes and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are garage roof sheets and textured coatings.

Unexpected materials mean we pause and discuss, before changing the plan.

Removing asbestos in ME3

Across ME3, we remove asbestos cement, textured coatings, tiles, flues and tanks, from the bigger towns to the smallest villages.

Hoo St Werburgh: In a school like Hoo St Werburgh Primary School and Marlborough Centre, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use. If you let property near Gillingham (Kent) station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal. Late-December sunset in Hoo St Werburgh is about 3:50pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

Common reasons for removal jobs in ME3

Sometimes damage forces the issue.

Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:

Floor tiles before a new floor
Old flues
Asbestos garages
Artex ceilings before renovation

Afterwards

If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.

Tell us about any previous survey
Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Tell us about parking and access

Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.

Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.

Options to consider in ME3

Remove, or leave and manage? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense.

FAQs for ME3

Does asbestos always have to come out?

Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.

Should I check for asbestos before buying?

Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.

Can I remove asbestos myself?

HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

How dangerous is asbestos?

Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.

Can asbestos be left in place?

Often it can stay: sound material that won’t be disturbed can be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.

Do you test before removing asbestos in ME3?

Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The right method depends on what the material is.

Do you cover ME3?

We do: our area includes ME3 and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
