Asbestos removal near Blackwater
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. From old waste on site and old flues, we deal with water tanks, cement soffits and floor tiles and more.
Homes in Blackwater with bigger gardens may have several outbuildings with cement roofs, which can often be dealt with together. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Choosing the right option
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and disposal still has to be done properly. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Blackwater
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
These are some of the things we deal with in Blackwater:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
Landlords near Blackwater station often time removal for when a property is empty.
Before booking anyone
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Suitable insurance for the work
- What isn’t included
- Whether the job needs notifying
For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

Do you work near Blackwater station?
Yes, we cover Blackwater and the area towards Blackwater station, about 0.6 miles east.

It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.

Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
