Common questions in Harrietsham
Is asbestos common in Harrietsham homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Harrietsham may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Harrietsham and the area around Harrietsham station?
Yes. Harrietsham station is close to the centre of Harrietsham, and we cover the whole area.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Usually not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
In most cases, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Send us some photos.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
