How much does asbestos removal cost in Pains-Hill?

How can I get a price?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.

What else we do in Pains-Hill
After the job
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, for anyone working there later.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Don’ts
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Choosing the right option
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is normally right. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
