Asbestos removal near Birch Hill
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified. Common materials are gutters and downpipes, floor tiles and cement roof sheets, and people usually contact us about Artex before plastering and garage roof sheets.
Homes in Birch Hill with bigger gardens may have several outbuildings with cement roofs. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
These come up again and again:
- Artex ceilings before renovation

For non-domestic buildings like Birch Hill Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
