FAQs for Kent Street
Do you come out to small villages like Kent Street?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
How far is Kent Street from London?
We cover Kent Street, about 37 miles from central London.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
