How asbestos removal works in Skinner's Hill
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. Common materials are flue pipes, floor tiles and cement soffits, and people typically contact us about cement water tanks in lofts and debris left from a previous job.
In Skinner's Hill, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Photos that help
