What’s included, and what isn’t
Some limits to bear in mind:

- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment

If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Stone Corner: your questions answered
Could my house in Stone Corner contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Appledore (Kent) station?
Yes. Appledore (Kent) station is about 3.9 miles east of Stone Corner, and we cover both.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
What happens if the test is positive?
A positive result tells you the type of asbestos found. From there, we will talk through leaving it, covering it or removing it.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you work in Stone Corner?
Yes, Stone Corner is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
What it costs
What drives the price:
- What the material is and its state
- The type of survey you need
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How many outbuildings are included
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Photos that help
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Cracks or breaks
- A clear close-up
- Visible markings
- How we’d reach it
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If your business premises in Stone Corner were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
After the job
A negative result means the material can be treated as normal, and you can show the result to your builder.
Keeping things safe:
- Test everything you are worried about at once
- Make the area easy to reach
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- Tell us if there is adhesive under tiles
Avoid these
Do not break off a piece to test yourself; tell us where it is and we will sample it safely.
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and do not try to clean it up.
