FAQs for West Peckham
Do you come out to small villages like West Peckham?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work near Wateringbury station?
Yes, we cover West Peckham and the area towards Wateringbury station, about 2.7 miles east.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Do you cover West Peckham?
Yes, we do: West Peckham is within the area we cover in Kent. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Usually, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Options to consider in West Peckham
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
