Common questions in Borden
How far is Borden from London?
Borden is about 36 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Borden and the area around Sittingbourne station?
Yes. Sittingbourne station is about 1.4 miles north-east of Borden, and we cover both.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Usually, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we’ll advise.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
What we do and do not cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
What we deal with
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Cement wall panels
- Roof felt
- Ridge pieces
- Fixings and bolts
- Bargeboards
- Gutters and downpipes

We take them off with the sheets.
Fixings
