How we price asbestos removal
Prices vary with:
- Material and condition
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The survey scope
- The category of work
Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- A rough size or measurement
- The access route
- Visible markings
- An overall view
Include any existing survey or test when you call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form; it helps us quote accurately.

Where asbestos turns up
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Artex before plastering
- Finds during refurbishment
- Garage roofs and whole garages
Older buildings in Rusper, near St Mary Magdalene church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.
What to look for in a quote
- VAT, clearly stated
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Whether the job needs notifying
Limits to be aware of
Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it does not:
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
Keeping things safe:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Things not to do
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
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.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Which option is right?
Licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed? The material and the job decide. Our guide explains the difference, with links to HSE’s pages. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Why people choose us

Rusper: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Rusper?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Rusper from London?
Rusper is about 27 miles from central London, well within our area.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you work in Rusper?
We do: our area includes Rusper and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
How it works
If we find more than expected, or something different, we stop and talk to you, before changing the plan. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. Outdoor removal in Rusper is planned to finish in daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:20pm.

Before we arrive
