Weighing up your options
Remove, or leave and manage?

When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
Why us?
- Quotes that spell out the scope

Do you cover Stone Cross from London?

Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.

It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
