FAQs for Sheldwich
Do you work near Selling station?
Yes, we cover Sheldwich and the area towards Selling station, about 2.6 miles east.
Is asbestos common in Sheldwich homes?
If your home in Sheldwich was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do you cover Sheldwich?
Yes. We cover Sheldwich and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.

If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Staying safe afterwards:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Plan the new roof before removal
Avoid these
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.

Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
