Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Your options compared
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and disposal still has to be done properly. The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
What you get
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Across London and the South East
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
Take a look at how we quote or published price ranges.
What’s included, and what isn’t
A few things to be aware of:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date

Questions from Ashampstead Green
Could my house in Ashampstead Green contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Ashampstead Green may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Ashampstead Green from London?
We cover Ashampstead Green, about 47 miles from central London.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can usually stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
