Doing it yourself?

Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

Typical jobs in Botolphs include:
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos

Materials we deal with
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
