How asbestos removal works in Portsmouth

Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Typical jobs include outbuildings with cement roofs and old cold water tanks, including cement roof sheets, water tanks and flue pipes.

Our team uses disposable coveralls and respiratory protection, and keep everyone else out of the work area.

Good to know

Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it doesn’t:

Making good is normally a separate job
Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work

Weighing up your options

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 the work will disturb it, removal makes sense.
