Your questions about asbestos removal in Longfield
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover Longfield from London?
We cover Longfield, about 19 miles from central London.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the method depends on what the material is.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What does removal cost?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. Every job gets a written quote.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Material and condition
- The size of the job
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Access to the area
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
