Asbestos removal in Burkham
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. We often deal with water tanks, cement soffits and gutters and downpipes, and people normally contact us about asbestos found during building work and old cold water tanks.
Rural removal near Burkham can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, usually tightly bound.
Good to know
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and does not cover:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is usually separate
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
