Choosing the right option
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
What you get
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Covering London and the South East

Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Upper Street questions
Do you come out to small villages like Upper Street?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do older homes in Upper Street have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What happens to the waste?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
