Asbestos removal in Kidmore End
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. From Artex before plastering and garage roof sheets, we deal with cement roof sheets, textured coatings and floor tiles.
In Kidmore End, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

FAQs for Kidmore End
Do you come out to small villages like Kidmore End?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Kidmore End homes?
If your home in Kidmore End 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.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Will I get the price in writing?

How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.

Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.

HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
