For landlords, agents and businesses

If your business premises in Well Hill were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
FAQs for Well Hill
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you work near Knockholt station?
Yes, we cover Well Hill and the area towards Knockholt station, about 1.1 miles south-west.
Can I stay at home while you work?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
How can I get a price?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it first, and record that it’s there.
Materials we deal with
Artex ceilings
Swirl, stipple and other patterns on ceilings are the most common textured coatings.
Coated plasterboard
Coatings are applied over plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
