Asbestos removal in Maplehurst
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. From asbestos garages and asbestos found during building work, we deal with floor tiles, water tanks and cement roof sheets and more.
In a village like Maplehurst, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
For businesses and landlords in Maplehurst
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
How it works
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, then keep the material damp throughout. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first before carrying on. In winter, the light goes in Maplehurst by about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

Choosing the right option
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
