Asbestos removal in Preston
Asbestos removal in Preston
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. Common materials are textured coatings, cement roof sheets and cement soffits, and typical jobs are cement flues and gutters and asbestos found during building work.
Properties in areas like Preston with larger plots can have more than one cement-roofed building. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Preston
How far is Preston from London?
Preston is about 45 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my house in Preston contain asbestos?
If your home in Preston was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
What happens to the waste?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
How can I get a price?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
What affects the price in Preston
We base our quote on:
- Access to the area
- How much waste there is
- The size of the job
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Helping us quote
The most useful photos are:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- The parking area
- A rough size or measurement
- Cracks or breaks
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
For businesses and landlords in Preston
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Preston must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
After the job
File the waste paperwork safely: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
Going forward:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Book the replacement before removal
Avoid these
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
What happens
Our team uses disposable coveralls and respiratory protection, and keep everyone else out of the work area. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there’s no confusion. In winter, the light goes in Preston by about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We identify the material and work out whether the job is licensed, notifiable or non-licensed
- We quote in writing, including the waste
- We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can
- Everything is cleaned up, and the waste paperwork follows
Before we arrive
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
- Tell us about parking and access
- Dig out previous surveys
Ask for a quote

Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
