Asbestos removal FAQ
How do I know if I have asbestos?
Corrugated cement-style sheets on garages and sheds built before 2000 are normally treated as asbestos, and photos are often enough to see what you have. A sample analysed by a laboratory is only needed if there is real doubt.
How much does asbestos removal cost?
UK firms commonly quote around £600 to £1,000 to remove the roof of a single garage and around £1,000 to £1,600 for a double. These are guide ranges, not a quote from us.
Is asbestos removal licensed work?
Careful removal of asbestos cement without breaking it is normally non-licensed work. Badly damaged material, lagging, sprayed coatings and insulating board are usually licensed. Check current HSE guidance.
Can I remove it myself?
Householders are not directly covered by the regulations, but HSE advises against it. Breaking or drilling releases fibres and the waste needs a permitted disposal site.
Where does the waste go?
It is wrapped and labelled, carried by a registered waste carrier and taken to a permitted site, with paperwork recording where it went.
Who actually does the work?
Independent contractors and testing providers in your area. We are a referral service and pass your enquiry on; they quote you directly.
