Can I do it myself?

With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
About our asbestos removal in Kettle Corner
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, and you get the waste paperwork. People often contact us about cement water tanks in lofts and garage roofs and whole garages, including cement roof sheets, textured coatings and water tanks.
Rural removal near Kettle Corner can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Where asbestos turns up
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Debris left from a previous job
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Old flues
- Artex ceilings before renovation
If you let property near East Farleigh station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.

Kettle Corner questions
Is asbestos common in Kettle Corner homes?
If your home in Kettle Corner was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you come out to small villages like Kettle Corner?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
