Asbestos removal in Scarborough
Asbestos removal in Scarborough covers homes, rental property and workplaces: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Every job is planned to HSE guidance, with the waste taken to a permitted site. People often contact us about old flues and Artex ceilings before renovation, involving gutters and downpipes, textured coatings and flue pipes.
In towns and villages like Scarborough, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Typical removal jobs in Scarborough
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
These are some of the things we deal with in Scarborough:
- Cement flues and gutters
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Materials found mid-project
In older buildings across Scarborough, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.

After the job
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, as the method may need to change.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Tell us about parking and access
Things not to do
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
What it costs
Our quotes take into account:
- The size of the job
- Material and condition
- Licensed or non-licensed
- How much waste there is
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Photos that help
A few photos can save a site visit:
- A photo of the whole area
- Approximate dimensions
- Damaged areas
- Where we could park
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
