Asbestos removal for Birchett's Green
DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
About our asbestos removal in Birchett's Green
Every removal job in Birchett's Green is planned first: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed, before anyone starts. Common materials are cement soffits, gutters and downpipes and floor tiles, and typical jobs are Artex before plastering and loft water tanks.
In places like Birchett's Green, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Birchett's Green
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Finds during refurbishment
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Old waste on site
In older properties in Birchett's Green, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.

Which option is right?

Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.

Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
