About our asbestos removal in Salford
Removal is not always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll say so. Common materials are cement roof sheets, gutters and downpipes and floor tiles, and people generally contact us about textured coatings and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes.
Rural removal near Salford can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
