Asbestos removal for Picket Twenty properties
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. Common materials are water tanks, cement soffits and floor tiles, and people generally contact us about broken sheets in gardens and loft water tanks.
In Picket Twenty, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.
