Common questions in Styants Bottom

Do you work near Kemsing station?

Yes. Kemsing station is about 1 mile north-west of Styants Bottom, and we cover both.

Do you cover small places like Styants Bottom?

We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.

Where does the asbestos go?

We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note as your record.

Do I need to move out?

Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.

When can you start?

It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.

Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?

If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.

Do I need a test or a survey?

A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.

Which asbestos work needs a licence?

Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.

Asbestos removal near Styants Bottom

Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, because the method depends on the material. From garage roof sheets and old flues, we cover floor tiles, cement roof sheets and water tanks.

In towns and villages like Styants Bottom, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

  • The size of the job

Choosing the right option

Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is typically right. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.

Why choose us

  • We identify first and remove only what needs removing
  • Clear advice on your options
  • Legal disposal, with paperwork
  • Houses, flats and business premises

See our prices page or published price ranges.

After the job

File the waste paperwork safely: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.

To avoid problems in future:

  • Let neighbours know if work is near them
  • Plan any replacement work before the removal date
  • Let us know where we can park
  • Photos of the material and the route in help

Don’ts

Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.

Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
