Your questions about asbestos removal in Wissenden

Could my home contain asbestos?

Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Where does the asbestos go?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site, with a consignment note as your record.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
How asbestos removal works in Wissenden
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, with a consignment note for your records. Whether it’s flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and Artex ceilings before renovation, we cover textured coatings, cement roof sheets and water tanks and more.
In areas like Wissenden, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Step by step
We unfix materials and take them out in whole pieces where we can, without breaking, dropping or power tools. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next. In winter, the light goes in Wissenden by about 3:50pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Share photos, the postcode and any survey or test you have
- We confirm what the material is and what category of work it falls into
- We quote in writing, including the waste
- On the agreed date we set up the work area and remove the material carefully
- We clean the area and send the consignment note
Before we arrive
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
