Stowting questions
Do you cover Stowting from London?
Stowting is about 55 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
What happens to the waste?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Stowting
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Old waste on site
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Old flues
In older buildings across Stowting, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.
What to look for in a quote
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Whether VAT is included
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Your options compared
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
