How we price asbestos removal

Our quotes take into account:

  • The size of the job
  • How many samples are needed
  • What the material is and its state
  • Access to the area

A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

What to photograph

Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:

  • The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
  • A close-up from a safe distance
  • Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
  • Where we could park

Not sure what you need? Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form and describe the problem, and we will advise.

DIY and asbestos

DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

After we’ve finished in Potters Corner

Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.

A few practical points:

  • Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
  • Send photos of the material and the access
  • Tell us about parking and access
  • Make sure pets and children are elsewhere

Things not to do

Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.

Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.

Where asbestos turns up

Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.

In older properties, we often see:

  • Artex ceilings before renovation
  • Materials found mid-project
  • Cement water tanks in lofts
  • Outbuildings with cement roofs

For rentals close to Ashford International station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.

What your quote should include

  • Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
  • That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
  • Waste disposal and the consignment note
  • What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples

Choosing an asbestos contractor

Materials, one by one
