Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
What happens next
File the waste paperwork safely: it proves legal disposal.
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Tell us about parking and access
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Your options compared
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork.
Before you book anyone
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Where asbestos turns up
Damage from DIY, storms or accidents can make removal necessary.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Textured coatings
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Garage roofs and whole garages
Common questions in CT6
Do I need to move out?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Do you cover CT6?
We do: our area includes CT6 and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
