Common questions in How Green
Do you cover How Green and the area around Hever station?
Yes, we cover How Green and the area towards Hever station, about 1.3 miles south-west.
Do you cover How Green from London?
How Green is about 23 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Materials we deal with
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets do not crack.
