Our asbestos removal in SO53
Licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, and has to be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. We’ll tell you if your job in SO53 falls into that category.

On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, then keep the material damp throughout.

What to look for in a quote
- How the work will be done, and the controls used

Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
