About our asbestos removal in Snowdown
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, because the method depends on the material. People often contact us about garage roof sheets and old flues, including cement roof sheets, floor tiles and gutters and downpipes.
In Snowdown, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

In older properties in Snowdown, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal. At a school such as St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty. Snowdown is within about 7 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape; removing asbestos from rural buildings there follows the same rules, with access across yards and fields to plan.

FAQs for Snowdown
Do you cover Snowdown from London?
Snowdown is about 60 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The right method depends on what the material is.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
