How asbestos removal works in Reading Street
You do not always have to remove asbestos. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will say so. From garage roof sheets and old cold water tanks, we deal with textured coatings, water tanks and cement soffits and more.
Rural removal near Reading Street can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
