Asbestos can be found in thousands of building products used prior to 2000, particularly in domestic, commercial, and industrial properties. Common asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) include: • Asbestos Insulating Board (AIB) – walls, ceilings, bulkheads • Thermal insulation to pipework and boilers • Sprayed coatings on beams, ceilings, and ductwork • Textured coatings (e.g., Artex) • Asbestos cement products (roof sheets, soffits, gutters, flues) • Vinyl floor tiles and bitumen adhesives •Sink pads and backing boards • Electrical fuse boards and flash guards • Gaskets, rope seals, and insulation wraps • Fire doors, panels, and partitions • Ceiling tiles and composite panels If your property was built or refurbished before the year 2000, asbestos may still be present.

Asbestos removal involves finding and removing asbestos on a property so the owner and users can be safe and comply with regulations. Work starts with an evaluation to determine the locations of asbestos in the building before operators seal off the affected area to prevent fibre release and begin carefully removing materials. Asbestos-containing products go into special asbestos UN waste sacks for safe disposal according to government guidelines.

Removing asbestos brings numerous benefits, including:
-Eliminating the risks of health conditions associated with asbestos exposure
-Greater compliance with regulations and legal standards
-Reducing the risk of fines or legal cases relating to asbestos exposure
-Improving the value of the property
-Allowing businesses to demonstrate a commitment to responsibility and safety

How much asbestos removal costs depends on:
-The size of the job (industrial and commercial projects tend to have higher quotes than smaller residential ones)
-The location of the asbestos (e.g. in the garage, roof, or flooring) -The challenges involved in the removal (i.e. how hard it is to get to)
-Each project is unique so we provide estimates before we begin work. If we give you a free quote, you are under no obligation to use our services and can go with someone else.

We follow a strict, step-by-step asbestos removal process to keep you safe and ensure full compliance with all regulations.
-Identification: First, we locate and assess the presence of asbestos-containing materials.
-Containment: The affected area is sealed off with specialized containment barriers to prevent harmful fibres from becoming airborne and spreading.
-Protective Measures: All personnel wear full-body protective gear to eliminate any risk of exposure during the removal process.
-Air Monitoring: Throughout the operation, we continuously monitor the air quality around the containment zone to ensure no fibres escape into surrounding areas.
-Air Filtration: Inside the containment area, we use advanced filtration systems to remove airborne particles and ensure the space is safe once the work is complete.
-Safe Disposal: After removal, all asbestos materials are carefully packaged and transported to a licensed hazardous waste facility for proper disposal.
-Your safety is our top priority, and every step we take is designed to minimise risk and ensure a clean, compliant result.

In the UK, you are legally allowed to remove some types of asbestos yourself, such as asbestos cement sheets or certain textured coatings, as long as they are in good condition and do not require a licensed contractor. However, doing it yourself is risky. Disturbing asbestos can release invisible fibres that, when inhaled, can cause serious and often fatal diseases like mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis—sometimes decades after exposure. Without the right training, equipment, and safety procedures, DIY removal can lead to contamination of your home, exposure to your family, and long-term health damage. Unless you are fully informed and equipped, it is far safer to use professional services.
