- Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a quote
- We seal the room and remove the coating with wet methods
- The waste is bagged, the room cleaned and the waste taken to a permitted site

Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Your options compared
DIY removal products are sold for textured coatings, but if the coating contains asbestos, HSE guidance applies. Test first. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
What you get
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Accredited laboratory results
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
