Asbestos help in Hammer
Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
How asbestos removal works in Hammer
Removal is not always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll say so. People often contact us about old waste on site and finds during refurbishment, including floor tiles, gutters and downpipes and cement roof sheets.
Rural removal near Hammer can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Your options compared
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
