Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Materials we deal with
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Prices and what affects them
Our quotes take into account:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Disposal costs
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.
Sending photos
Photos often save us a visit:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Where we could park
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- An idea of size
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Good to know
The usual limits are:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is normally separate
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.

- Bitumen roof felt

Your questions about asbestos removal in Freshwater
Is asbestos common in Freshwater homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs don’t typically affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Freshwater?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. Every job gets a written quote.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.

Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, although sound material can often stay.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:

In older properties in Freshwater, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.
