Helpful guides
DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Questions from South Street
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you work near Selling station?
Yes. Selling station is close to the centre of South Street, and we cover the whole area.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Do you work in South Street?
We do: our area includes South Street and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are normally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
