- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes

Albany Park questions
Do older homes in Albany Park have asbestos?
If your home in Albany Park was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
What we do and do not cover
Before booking, note that:
- Making good is normally a separate job
