About our asbestos removal in Old Romney
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. People often contact us about loft water tanks and finds during refurbishment, involving gutters and downpipes, cement roof sheets and floor tiles.
Rural removal near Old Romney can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. We only recommend work that is needed.

What we deal with in Old Romney
Old materials break down over time: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is often when people decide to remove them.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Textured coatings
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Loft water tanks
In older buildings across Old Romney, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan.
