harold76 Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 thanks nunhead_manIdeally want to find someone who will take down the asbestos as well as remove it from the property. It seems that cityoflondon will collect only. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/50277-asbestos-removal/#findComment-790197 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidKruger Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I've had a similar situation recently. After having a 'survey' by an asbestos disposal firm (?100) I was quoted ?900 for removal. Me and a labourer did it in 3 hours. As long as it's intact and the right material, the risks of contamination from the asbestos can be minimal - just do your research.

nunhead_man Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Indeed - worth checking how much and what sort of asbestos you have - corrugated concrete/asbestos sheets if that is what you have tend to be 5% asbestos Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/50277-asbestos-removal/#findComment-790214 Share on other sites More sharing options...
harold76 Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Yes, it looks like corrugated concrete/ asbestos sheets. That's re-assuring.Thanks Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/50277-asbestos-removal/#findComment-790219 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecopainter Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Damp well down with water or after heavy rain then remove and wrap in plastic sheeting or bin liners.

nunhead_man Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 The reference I gave specifies the gauge of plastic - essentially damp proof course plastic - if you use this route they will not take it unless you comply. And three weeks notice to collect. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/50277-asbestos-removal/#findComment-790330 Share on other sites More sharing options...
