We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
How far is Pluckley Thorne from London?
We cover Pluckley Thorne, about 43 miles from central London.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Pluckley Thorne?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. Every job gets a written quote.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can usually stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.

Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
