How asbestos removal works in Stone in Oxney

How much does asbestos removal cost in Stone in Oxney?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. We quote each job individually.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Looking after things afterwards
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, because the plan may need to change.
Keeping things safe:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Share any survey or test results
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Avoid these
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
What it might be made of
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is normally well bound.

It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
