Asbestos removal in Flishinghurst
Removal is planned, not improvised: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed, before anyone starts. People often contact us about sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and materials found mid-project, including cement roof sheets, gutters and downpipes and water tanks.
In a village like Flishinghurst, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Flishinghurst
Do older homes in Flishinghurst have asbestos?
If your home in Flishinghurst was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Flishinghurst?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
