Your options compared
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
What it costs
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- The category of work
- How much there is
- Parking and access charges
- Material and condition
Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
What to photograph
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Where we could park
- Labels, if any
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Common reasons for removal jobs in West Hanney
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Finds during refurbishment
- Old cold water tanks
- Old waste on site
Older buildings in West Hanney, near Church of St James or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- The documents you will receive
- Whether VAT is included
