Asbestos removal near Wick
How asbestos removal works in Wick
We remove asbestos from homes, rented property and commercial buildings across Wick: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Every job is planned to HSE guidance, with the waste taken to a permitted site. Typical jobs include old cold water tanks and Artex ceilings before renovation, including gutters and downpipes, cement roof sheets and floor tiles.
In a smaller place like Wick, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, reached through gardens and drives. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
After the job
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, because the plan may need to change.
Going forward:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Share any survey or test results
- File the consignment note
Things not to do
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
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. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Responsibilities for owners
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Wick, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Typical removal jobs in Wick
Old materials break down over time: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is when removal comes up.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Artex before plastering
- Old flues
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Asbestos found during building work
If you’re on or near the B2284, tell us about parking and loading.

Wick: your questions answered
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover Wick from London?
We cover Wick, about 51 miles from central London.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote.
What does removal cost?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. Every job gets a written quote.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How do I get a quote?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
