Prices and what affects them
Our quotes take into account:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How many samples are needed
The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Photos that help
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Visible markings
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Damaged areas
- A wide shot showing where the material is
Each job is priced individually. To start, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Materials, one by one
Water tanks and flues
A Gas Safe engineer disconnects any gas appliance first.
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Abshot: your questions answered
Do older homes in Abshot have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Abshot can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Swanwick station?
Yes, we cover Abshot and the area towards Swanwick station, about 2 miles north.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Looking after things afterwards
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- File the consignment note
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Things not to do
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is normally separate
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Remove, or leave and manage? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.
