Questions from Painters Ash
Do you cover Painters Ash and the area around Ebbsfleet International station?
Yes, we cover Painters Ash and the area towards Ebbsfleet International station, about 1.5 miles north-west.
Do older homes in Painters Ash have asbestos?
Any home in Painters Ash built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
