Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- How easy it is to reach
- Licensed or non-licensed
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.
Photos that help
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Approximate dimensions
- Damaged areas
- Labels, if any
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.
The process
In strong wind or heavy rain, we may have to stop, because safety comes first. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening. In December, it’s dark in Bix by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Get in touch with photos
- We confirm the material, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote
- We remove the sheets carefully
- The sheets are wrapped and taken away, and you get the consignment note
How to prepare

Weighing up your options
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there is a serious falls risk too. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Why us?
- Accredited laboratory results
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Clear advice on your options

Common questions in Bix
Do you come out to small villages like Bix?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do older homes in Bix have asbestos?
If your home in Bix was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Do you work in Bix?
We do: our area includes Bix and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
