Licensed Asbestos Removal across Greater Manchester
Victorian terraces, converted cotton mills, 1960s tower blocks and post-war council estates mean asbestos turns up in almost every kind of building across Greater Manchester.
Licensed work covers the most dangerous asbestos materials. It needs a full enclosure under negative pressure, a decontamination unit, air monitoring and, at the end, a four-stage clearance by an independent analyst. HSE must be notified at least 14 days before work starts.
Guide price: Quoted after survey (HSE requires 14 days' notice).
When you need it
