Asbestos removal in Petham
Every removal job in Petham is planned first: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed. We often deal with cement soffits, gutters and downpipes and flue pipes, and typical jobs are asbestos found during building work and asbestos garages.
In areas like Petham, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. We only recommend work that’s needed.

If asbestos stays in the building:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date

- Send photos of the material and the access
- Tell us about any previous survey
