What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Prices and what affects them
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- How much waste there is
- What the material is and its state
- The quantity or area
- Licensed or non-licensed
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
Helpful photos:
- A clear close-up

- An idea of size

Materials we deal with
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.

- Let us know where we can park
- Photos of the material and the route in help
