Asbestos removal for Throwley Forstal properties
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. Typical jobs include sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and garage roof sheets, including floor tiles, flue pipes and cement roof sheets.
In Throwley Forstal, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Should you do it yourself?

HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

What happens next
