How asbestos removal works in Brightling
If your builder has found suspect material in Brightling, stop work in that area and keep people away. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. From old waste on site and Artex before plastering, we cover flue pipes, floor tiles and textured coatings and more.
In a village like Brightling, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.
