Asbestos removal for Norwood New Town
How asbestos removal works in Norwood New Town
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. Common materials are textured coatings, gutters and downpipes and cement soffits, and typical jobs are garage roofs and whole garages and old cold water tanks.
In areas like Norwood New Town, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
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. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there is no confusion. Late-December sunset in Norwood New Town is about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
