Asbestos removal for Walter's Green

Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is typically well bound.
About our asbestos removal in Walter's Green
Asbestos removal in Walter's Green covers homes, rental property and workplaces: garage roofs, flues, water tanks, Artex and floor tiles among them. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. Whether it’s flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and garage roofs and whole garages, we cover cement roof sheets, water tanks and gutters and downpipes and more.
Rural removal near Walter's Green can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Typical removal jobs in Walter's Green
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so buildings across Kent built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
These come up again and again:
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Materials found mid-project
Older buildings in Walter's Green, near Church of St Peter or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.

Doing it yourself?
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.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
