Asbestos in Gillingham
Gillingham is the largest of the Medway Towns, shaped by the historic Chatham Dockyard that built warships for the Royal Navy for centuries. Its dockyard buildings, Victorian terraces and post-war estates used asbestos insulating board, lagging and asbestos cement. Terraced and interwar homes across the town commonly hold artex, textured ceilings and asbestos cement soffits and garage roofs.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Gillingham properties safe the right way — identified, proven in the lab, and either contained or removed with paperwork that satisfies lenders, buyers and the HSE.

Asbestos Testing & Air Monitoring in Gillingham: FAQs
Do Gillingham's dockyard-area buildings contain asbestos?
Often — the historic dockyard and naval buildings around Gillingham and the Medway Towns frequently retain lagging, sprayed coatings and asbestos cement roofs. Any conversion or demolition requires a refurbishment and demolition survey first, which we carry out fully.
What does an asbestos survey cost for a Gillingham home?
A survey for a typical Gillingham home starts from around £200, including sampling and a written register. We confirm pricing before attending, and larger or commercial buildings are quoted individually once we know the building size.
How quickly can I find out if a material contains asbestos?
Standard bulk sample analysis is returned within 24 hours, and same-day analysis is available for urgent cases. You receive a UKAS-accredited certificate stating the fibre type, or confirming none is present.
What is an air test for and when do I need one?
Air testing measures the concentration of asbestos fibres in the air. It is used for reassurance after disturbance, for background monitoring, and for the mandatory clearance test after licensed removal before a space can be reoccupied.
