How asbestos removal works in Wateringbury
You don’t always have to remove asbestos. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll tell you honestly when that’s the case. We often deal with cement soffits, cement roof sheets and textured coatings, and people normally contact us about materials found mid-project and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes.
Rural removal near Wateringbury can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.

They’re removed by hand.
