Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

If you let a house with a garage near Teynham station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.

Common questions in Erriottwood
Do you cover small places like Erriottwood?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Erriottwood contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Do you cover Erriottwood?
Yes, we do: Erriottwood is within the area we cover in Kent. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
