Asbestos removal for West Malling properties

West Malling: your questions answered
How far is West Malling from London?
West Malling is about 26 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos common in West Malling homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in West Malling can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Where does the asbestos go?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you receive the consignment note.
Can I stay at home during removal?
For outdoor jobs, you can usually stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What it might be made of
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with power tools.
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Your options compared
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
