How we price asbestos removal
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos removal:
- Disposal costs
- The size of the job
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The survey scope
The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Photos that help
When you send photos, these help most:
- Labels, if any
- Approximate dimensions
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Cracks or breaks
You’ll get a written quote. Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Afterwards
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, because the plan may need to change.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell us about parking and access
- File the consignment note
Things not to do
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Which option is right?
Be wary of a price that seems too low: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Questions from Horley
Do you come out to small villages like Horley?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Horley from London?
We cover Horley, about 69 miles from central London.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
