How asbestos removal works in Dunkirk
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, with a consignment note for your records. Typical jobs include Artex ceilings before renovation and cement water tanks in lofts, involving cement roof sheets, flue pipes and water tanks.
In a village like Dunkirk, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Duty holders and landlords in Dunkirk
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Which option is right?
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

How much does asbestos removal cost in Dunkirk?

We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you receive the consignment note.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.

Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the method depends on what the material is.
