FAQs for Langley Vale
Do you work near Tattenham Corner station?
Yes, we cover Langley Vale and the area towards Tattenham Corner station, about 1 mile east.
Do older homes in Langley Vale have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Langley Vale can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Generally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, but most single garages are a short job once set up.

When we quote, we look at:
- The type of material and its condition
- The size of the job
