What does removal cost?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. We quote each job individually.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
What it costs
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- The size of the job
- How easy it is to reach
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Travel and parking
Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
Photos that help
The most useful photos are:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Damaged areas
- The parking area
- A picture of the whole area
You’ll get a written quote. Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
Your options compared
Remove, or leave and manage? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Why choose us
- Accredited laboratory results
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- No removal until we know what it is
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder

For businesses and landlords in West Hythe
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Good to know
We are upfront about what’s included:
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Materials we see
- Garage and shed roofs
- Water tanks
- Flue pipes
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Bitumen roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Soffits (cement)
- Artex and textured coatings
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Panels and boards
After the job
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it proves legal disposal.
A few practical points:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Share any survey or test results
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
What to avoid
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
