Prices and what affects them
What drives the price:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The quantity or area
Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

How asbestos removal works in Busbridge
Removal is planned, not improvised: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed. From Artex before plastering and garage roof sheets, we cover cement soffits, water tanks and textured coatings and more.
In Busbridge, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Where asbestos turns up
Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Asbestos garages
- Old waste on site
- Finds during refurbishment
- Cement water tanks in lofts
Older buildings in Busbridge, near St John the Baptist Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.
What to look for in a quote
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note

- What is not included
Step by step
We wear disposable coveralls and suitable respirators, and keep everyone else out of the work area. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing. In winter, the light goes in Busbridge by about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We identify the material and work out whether the job is licensed, notifiable or non-licensed
- We quote in writing, including the waste
- We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can
- We clean the area and send the consignment note
Getting ready
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage

For landlords, agents and businesses
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Weighing up your options
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Why choose us
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
Take a look at how we quote or our cost guide.
DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Looking after things afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is normally a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
Avoid these
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
