Weighing up your options
Should it come out? 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. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

How do I get a quote?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It doesn’t always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
What happens to the waste?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Looking after things afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
Some practical advice:
- Share any survey or test results
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Book the replacement before removal
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Things not to do
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
