Why us?
- No removal until we know what it is
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Accredited laboratory results
Read our prices page and our cost guide.
Afterwards
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, as the method may need to change.
Going forward:
- Let us know where we can park
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
What to avoid
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
What it might be made of
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with power tools.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
What we do and do not cover
We are upfront about what’s included:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
What we deal with
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Artex and textured coatings
- Flue pipes
- Gutters and downpipes
- Panels and boards
- Bitumen roof felt
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits (cement)
- Water tanks
- Garage and shed roofs

Do you test before removing asbestos in St Helens?

What it costs
