Prices and what affects them
Every quote reflects:
- What the material is and its state
- Waste quantity and disposal
- How much there is
- Licensed or non-licensed
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- An overall view
- An idea of size
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A close-up from a safe distance
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you’re planning. Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Asbestos removal in Hackbridge
You do not always have to remove asbestos. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll tell you honestly when that’s the case. We often deal with cement roof sheets, gutters and downpipes and cement soffits, and people generally contact us about loft water tanks and old sheds and coal bunkers.
In London neighbourhoods like Hackbridge, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Your options compared
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. 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.

Hackbridge questions
Do you work near Mitcham Eastfields station?
Yes. Mitcham Eastfields station is about 0.5 miles north of Hackbridge, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Hackbridge homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Hackbridge can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Tell us about any previous survey
What to avoid
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
The scope of asbestos removal
The usual limits are:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is normally separate
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we deal with
- Artex and textured coatings
- Water tanks
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Panels and boards
- Flue pipes
- Garage and shed roofs
- Bitumen roof felt
- Soffits (cement)
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Gutters and downpipes
Common reasons for removal jobs in Hackbridge
Sometimes damage forces the issue, especially if broken material is lying around.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Materials found mid-project
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Garage roof sheets
- Floor tiles before a new floor
For non-domestic buildings like St Thomas of Canterbury Catholic Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
Comparing quotes
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Whether VAT is included
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
