Materials we deal with
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The size of the job
- The type of material and its condition
- Location, parking and any London charges
Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
Photos that help
A few photos can save a site visit:
- Approximate dimensions
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- An overall view
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.

After the job
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is typically a separate job, so plan it in advance.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Tell us about parking and access
- Tell us about any previous survey
Don’ts
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.

The usual limits are:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is usually separate

Helpful guides
Questions from Great Hampden
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Could my house in Great Hampden contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Cement and textured coatings are usually non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
What happens to the waste?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you receive the consignment note.
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
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.
For businesses and landlords in Great Hampden
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
