The Stocks properties and asbestos removal
The Stocks is about 11 miles south-west of Ashford, in Kent. We work across The Stocks and the surrounding area, on everything from houses and flats to workplaces and garages. The Stocks is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we work. We work right across the region, from The Stocks to Canterbury (24 miles away).
In older buildings across The Stocks, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first. For non-domestic buildings like Wittersham Church of England Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty. The coast is within about 5 miles of The Stocks; on exposed coastal sites, wind affects when outdoor removal can go ahead.
