Goodley Stock: your questions answered
Do you cover Goodley Stock and the area around Hurst Green station?
Yes, we cover Goodley Stock and the area towards Hurst Green station, about 2.4 miles west.
Do you cover small places like Goodley Stock?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. Often you can stay in other rooms.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
