Asbestos removal in Adur
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Whether it’s asbestos found during building work and Artex ceilings before renovation, we cover cement soffits, gutters and downpipes and water tanks and more.
In areas like Adur, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

How we price asbestos removal
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The quantity or area
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Access to the area
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Sending photos
Photo tips:
- Damaged areas
- An idea of size
- Where we could park
- How we’d reach it
For a quote, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
How we work
Unexpected materials mean we pause and discuss, rather than carrying on regardless. It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions.

Helpful guides
DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Weighing up your options
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Why people choose us
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Domestic and commercial work
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
