Questions from Beltinge
Do you work near Herne Bay station?
Yes, we cover Beltinge and the area towards Herne Bay station, about 1.9 miles west.
Is asbestos common in Beltinge homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
How much does Artex removal cost in Beltinge?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, so we quote after testing.
Is my textured ceiling in Beltinge asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. The only way to know is to test a sample.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
