FAQs for Culverstone Green
Do you cover Culverstone Green and the area around Sole Street station?

Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.

Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.

Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What happens if the test is positive?
Your options depend on what it is, its condition and what work you’re planning: leaving it, covering it or removing it.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
