Hersden questions
Do you cover Hersden from London?
Hersden is about 56 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Hersden and the area around Sturry station?

Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Do you cover Hersden?
Yes. We cover Hersden and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
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.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.

Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
