Materials we deal with
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with power tools.
For businesses and landlords in Sharnal Street
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Afterwards
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Book the replacement before removal
- Tell us about parking and access
Avoid these
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Sharnal Street questions
Could my house in Sharnal Street contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Gillingham (Kent) station?
Yes. Gillingham (Kent) station is about 3.9 miles south of Sharnal Street, and we cover both.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
How can I get a price?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
