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.
Can you help with a shop or office?

Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
