About our asbestos removal in St Mary in the Marsh
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is usually non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, which still means proper controls. We often deal with floor tiles, textured coatings and water tanks, and typical jobs are broken sheets in gardens and cement flues and gutters.
In a village like St Mary in the Marsh, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.
