Asbestos help in Blackboys
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Asbestos removal near Blackboys
We remove asbestos from homes, rented property and commercial buildings across Blackboys: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. We often deal with flue pipes, floor tiles and cement soffits, and people generally contact us about garage roof sheets and broken sheets in gardens.
In towns and villages like Blackboys, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.
