FAQs for Bapchild
Do you cover Bapchild and the area around Teynham station?
Yes, we cover Bapchild and the area towards Teynham station, about 2.1 miles north-east.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Asbestos removal for Bapchild properties
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. We often deal with water tanks, flue pipes and textured coatings, and typical jobs are loft water tanks and broken sheets in gardens.
In a village like Bapchild, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.
