Faversham questions
Do you cover Faversham from London?
We cover Faversham, about 44 miles from central London.
Could my house in Faversham contain asbestos?
If your home in Faversham was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
