Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
How we price asbestos removal
Prices vary with:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Photos that help
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- An idea of size
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Labels, if any

DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Good to know
Before you book, note that:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work

- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Asbestos garages
- Debris left from a previous job
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
BN6: your questions answered
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: sound material that won’t be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It varies: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
