    Removal of Asbestos Cement Sheets

    Asbestos Cement Sheet Removal Kent

    Before you even start have you established wether it is made of Asbestos Cement Sheets? If in doubt give Inner City Environmental a call on 01322 273517

    If you are a home owner and you think your roof is constructed from Asbestos Cement Sheets it is recommended that you call in a licensed asbestos company to remove and take away from site. Asbestos in any form is very dangerous to health.

    Inner City Environmental are an HSE licenced asbestos removal company and can provide this service to you in London and the South East.

    We will dispose of it to a licenced waste centre and provide you with the documentation you need to conform to the law. Please check that whoever you use is a licenced contractor with the Asbestos Removal Contractors Association.

    The DIY route

    However you can carry out this work yourself but will need to seek guidance which is available from the HSE asbestos essentials website or click and download their guide to removing Asbestos Cement Sheets here.

    The HSE website a wealth of information about the removal and management of asbestos.

    If  you decide to take on this work after checking you can meet the HSE criteria you will need to dispose of the asbestos. It is again recommended that you call in a company like Inner City Environmental to make sure you conform to the HSE guidelines.

    • kept damp

    Wear protective gloves and a face mask and do not break or cut it when handling.
