Asbestos removal in Hextable
Licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence. We’ll tell you if your job in Hextable falls into that category. From cement water tanks in lofts and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos, we deal with water tanks, cement soffits and cement roof sheets and more.
In a smaller place like Hextable, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, with access through the garden or drive. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
