Asbestos removal in Hale Street
Asbestos removal near Hale Street
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, because the method depends on the material. We often deal with gutters and downpipes, cement roof sheets and water tanks, and people usually contact us about vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and finds during refurbishment.
In towns and villages like Hale Street, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. We only recommend work that is needed.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Hale Street
How far is Hale Street from London?
We cover Hale Street, about 29 miles from central London.
Could my house in Hale Street contain asbestos?
If your home in Hale Street was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor jobs do not normally affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.

HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.

What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
