Asbestos Removal explained
Most asbestos found in homes and smaller buildings, such as cement sheets, floor tiles, bitumen products and textured coatings, can be removed by trained, equipped operatives without an HSE licence. Some of this work must still be notified to HSE before it starts (notifiable non-licensed work).
We set up controls to stop fibres spreading, wet the material, remove it as whole as possible, double-bag or wrap it and take it to a licensed disposal site. You get a waste consignment note as proof. Licensed work is carried out by an HSE-licensed contractor that we appoint and manage for you, so you still deal with one company from survey to clearance.
Guide price: Small removals from £450 · larger jobs quoted after survey. Fixed written quote before any work.

Asbestos Removal questions
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Not for most cement products, floor tiles and textured coatings. Sprayed coatings, lagging and most asbestos insulating board need an HSE-licensed contractor. Licensed work is carried out by an HSE-licensed contractor that we appoint and manage for you, so you still deal with one company from survey to clearance.
How long does removal take?
A garage roof or small room is usually one day. Larger jobs are planned around you.
What happens to the waste?
It is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled, carried by a registered waste carrier and disposed of at a licensed site. You get a consignment note.
Can you replace what you remove?
Yes. We can fit a new garage roof, boards or ceilings as part of the same job.
