Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- The type of material and its condition
- Parking and access charges
- Access to the area
- The size of the job
When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Street parking nearby
- Labels, if any
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
