How asbestos removal works in Thorpe Green
We remove asbestos from homes, rented property and commercial buildings across Thorpe Green: garage roofs, flues, water tanks, Artex and floor tiles among them. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. Whether it’s old sheds and coal bunkers and materials found mid-project, we deal with gutters and downpipes, textured coatings and flue pipes.
In Thorpe Green, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- How easy it is to reach
- Material and condition
- The survey scope
There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Photos that help
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- How we’d reach it
- Where we could park
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- An idea of size
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
