How we price asbestos removal
The biggest factors in the price are:

- Parking and access charges
- How much there is

DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
Going forward:
- File the consignment note
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let us know where we can park
Things not to do
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Hoe Gate questions
Do you cover Hoe Gate from London?
We cover Hoe Gate, about 60 miles from central London.
Do older homes in Hoe Gate have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you receive the consignment note.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are generally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Responsibilities for owners
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Hoe Gate, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
