Asbestos removal in TN40: what to expect
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. Typical jobs include debris left from a previous job and finds during refurbishment, involving gutters and downpipes, textured coatings and water tanks.
We start by setting up and segregating the work area, and keep the material wet as we work.
- Get in touch with the details of the job
- We work out what category the work falls into
- We agree a date and any notification needed
- We set up the work area and remove the material
- The waste goes to a permitted site with a consignment note

FAQs for TN40
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Cement and textured coatings are generally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Do you test before removing asbestos in TN40?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The right method depends on what the material is.
What does removal cost?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.

- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
