Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
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
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, rather than halting work when it’s found. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
How we work in Elvendon
- Domestic and commercial work
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Across London and the South East
How we price asbestos removal
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Parking and access charges
- Disposal costs
- The quantity or area
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Photos that help
The most useful photos are:
- Approximate dimensions
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Street parking nearby
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
Each job is priced individually. To start, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
What’s included, and what is not
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Making good is normally a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Bitumen roof felt
- Soffits (cement)
- Panels and boards
- Garage and shed roofs
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Flue pipes
- Artex and textured coatings
- Gutters and downpipes
- Water tanks
- Floor tiles and adhesive
What happens next
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
To avoid problems in future:
- File the consignment note
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
Avoid these
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
