Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.

A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Afterwards
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, for anyone working there later.
Once we’re done:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Let us know where we can park
Things not to do
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
