Asbestos removal near Widley
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Typical jobs include finds during refurbishment and cement flues and gutters, involving floor tiles, gutters and downpipes and flue pipes.
In a village like Widley, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Weighing up your options
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and disposal still has to be done properly. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
