Asbestos removal for Beckley Furnace
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Asbestos removal near Beckley Furnace
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. We often deal with cement roof sheets, cement soffits and gutters and downpipes, and people normally contact us about flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and asbestos found during building work.
Rural removal near Beckley Furnace can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Choosing the right option
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
