Towns and villages near Swaythling
Materials we deal with
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, which is usually well bound.
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
