Asbestos removal for Rushenden
Asbestos removal for Rushenden properties
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Whether it’s cement water tanks in lofts and old sheds and coal bunkers, we deal with gutters and downpipes, water tanks and cement roof sheets.
Rural removal near Rushenden can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Choosing the right option
What kind of work is it? It depends on what the material is and what’s being done. Our guide explains the difference, with links to HSE’s pages. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
Why people choose us
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Work done to the regulations
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory

It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.

Avoid these
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
