Asbestos removal near Clapper Hill

Avoid these
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
What it might be made of
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with power tools.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, which is usually well bound.

Helpful guides
FAQs for Clapper Hill
Could my house in Clapper Hill contain asbestos?
Any home in Clapper Hill built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Clapper Hill?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Clapper Hill?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that won’t be disturbed can be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
