Asbestos removal for Arlington properties
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. From old sheds and coal bunkers and materials found mid-project, we deal with gutters and downpipes, water tanks and flue pipes.
Rural removal near Arlington can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Questions from Arlington
Do you come out to small villages like Arlington?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do older homes in Arlington have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
What happens to the waste?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note as your record.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Arlington?
There’s no fixed price: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
What affects the price in Arlington
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos removal:
- Access to the area
- Licensed or non-licensed
- How much waste there is
- Location, parking and any London charges
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Photos that help
What to photograph:
- A clear close-up
- Approximate dimensions
- Visible markings
- Damaged areas
Not sure what you need? Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 and describe the problem, and we’ll advise.
After the job
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is generally a separate job, so plan it in advance.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Let us know where we can park
Avoid these
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Choosing the right option
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. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Why choose us
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Records for your files
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Quotes that spell out the scope

Duty holders and landlords in Arlington
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Arlington
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Materials found mid-project
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Artex before plastering
- Loft water tanks
In older buildings across Arlington, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.

- VAT, clearly stated
