Asbestos garage roof removal for Kempe's Corner
Kempe's Corner: your questions answered
Do you work near Wye station?
Yes. Wye station is about 0.8 miles east of Kempe's Corner, and we cover both.
How far is Kempe's Corner from London?
Kempe's Corner is about 49 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Normally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
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.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
