Remove asbestos in the open air

Tips for removal

You have screwed sheets or corrugated sheets from your shed, utility room, houses and / or dovecote and you want to remove these yourself in the open air. Then here are some tips;

You can easily remove the roof plates by loosening the 6mm bolts (often a key or socket wrench 13). First spray the bolts wet with, for example, a plant sprayer and add a little soapy water to the water so that the fibers from the twisted screw come out wet. The plate itself is usually only 4mm thick, the rest of the bolt is in the wood. Keep the screws in a container or newspaper, which you can dispose of in a container bag that we call an Inliner. You will receive this with the container.

You also have the option of ordering a package of protective clothing from us. This package consists of protective gloves, a face mask and goggles.
