Asbestos removal near Swift's Green
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, because the method depends on the material. Whether it’s flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and floor tiles before a new floor, we cover cement roof sheets, cement soffits and gutters and downpipes and more.
In Swift's Green, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
Keeping things safe:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Avoid these

Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
