Your questions about asbestos removal in Sibertswold
Could my house in Sibertswold contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Sibertswold may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Shepherds Well station?
Yes, we cover Sibertswold, including the streets around Shepherds Well station.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do you work in Sibertswold?
Yes, we do: Sibertswold is within the area we cover in Kent. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.

DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
