How asbestos removal works in Etchingwood
Every removal job in Etchingwood is planned first: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed. Common materials are flue pipes, cement soffits and water tanks, and typical jobs are broken sheets in gardens and outbuildings with cement roofs.
In places like Etchingwood, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Etchingwood: your questions answered
Do you cover Etchingwood from London?
We cover Etchingwood, about 37 miles from central London.
Do older homes in Etchingwood have asbestos?
Any home in Etchingwood built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can usually stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.

- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
