Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

How we price asbestos removal
Every quote reflects:
- How much waste there is
- What the material is and its state
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The size of the job
Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- A photo of the whole area
- Labels, if any
- A clear close-up
- An idea of size
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.
Which option is right?
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, rather than halting work when it’s found. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
Why choose us
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Identify first, remove only when needed
