Is asbestos common in Kempe's Corner homes?
If your home in Kempe's Corner was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Kempe's Corner and the area around Wye station?
Yes. Wye station is about 0.8 miles east of Kempe's Corner, and we cover both.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
