When you contact us about potential asbestos in your Wetherby home, we follow a meticulous process designed for maximum safety and efficiency:

1. Initial Assessment & Advice: We'll discuss your concerns and, if needed, advise on the best course of action. While we don't conduct testing, we can often identify common asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) visually and recommend professional testing if required.
2. Preparation & Containment: Before any work begins, we create a secure, contained work area to prevent the spread of fibres. This involves sealing off the area, using specialised equipment, and ensuring only authorised personnel are present.
3. Safe Removal & Packaging: Our team, holding current CSES Cards and Asbestos Awareness certification, uses approved techniques and personal protective equipment (PPE) to carefully dismantle and remove the ACMs. All materials are double-bagged and sealed in robust, clearly marked containers.
4. Thorough Clean-up: Once the asbestos is removed, we conduct a meticulous clean-up of the work area using HEPA-filtered vacuum cleaners to capture any stray fibres.
5. Licensed Disposal: All asbestos waste is transported and disposed of at a licensed hazardous waste facility, strictly adhering to environmental regulations. We provide all necessary waste transfer notes for your records.

You might find asbestos in various places within properties built before the year 2000. Our experienced team regularly deals with:

• Garage Roofs & Panels: Often corrugated cement sheets.
• Soffit Boards & Fascias: Found around the eaves of the roof.
• Flue Pipes & Chimney Flues: Used for heat resistance.
• Textured Coatings: Such as Artex on ceilings and walls.
• Floor Tiles & Adhesives: Particularly older vinyl or thermoplastic tiles.
• Water Tanks: Cold water storage tanks in lofts.
• Panels around Boilers or in Airing Cupboards: As insulation or fireproofing.
  If you suspect any of these materials in your Wetherby home, it's always best to get professional advice.
