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.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Asbestos removal near New Eltham
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, with a consignment note for your records. We often deal with water tanks, flue pipes and textured coatings, and typical jobs are old floor tiles and black adhesive and cement flues and gutters.
In New Eltham, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. We only recommend work that is needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Which option is right?
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. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
