Questions from Further Quarter
Do you cover Further Quarter and the area around Pluckley station?
Yes, we cover Further Quarter and the area towards Pluckley station, about 3 miles north-east.
Is asbestos common in Further Quarter homes?
If your home in Further Quarter was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Is my garage roof in Further Quarter asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Further Quarter
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Garages due for demolition
- Concrete-panel garages
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Pieces of broken roof
If you let a house with a garage near Pluckley station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.
What your quote should include
- The scope of the job, in writing
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- How fibres will be kept down
- VAT, clearly stated
