Asbestos removal near Woodmancote
How asbestos removal works in Woodmancote
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. Common materials are gutters and downpipes, cement roof sheets and water tanks, and people normally contact us about outbuildings with cement roofs and debris left from a previous job.
In Woodmancote, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Looking after things afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Let us know where we can park
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Avoid these
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
