Question 1

Do I have to remove asbestos if I find it?

Accepted Answer

Not always. Asbestos in good condition and left undisturbed often poses little risk. A survey will tell you whether it's safer to remove it or manage it in place. If the material is damaged, crumbling, or in the way of building work, removal is the safer route.

Question 2

Do I need to move out during the work?

Accepted Answer

For most non-licensed jobs, no. We seal off the work area and keep the rest of your home or premises usable. We'll tell you upfront if a job needs you to keep clear of a particular space.

Question 3

What asbestos work do you do, and what do you refer on?

Accepted Answer

We handle non-licensed asbestos work: cement roofs and cladding, floor tiles, textured coatings like Artex, soffits, gutters, and similar materials. Some higher-risk materials legally require a licensed contractor. We don't carry that work out ourselves, but we'll point you to someone who is licensed.

Question 4

How much does asbestos removal cost?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the material, the amount, access, and whether replacement work is needed. The survey and quote are free and carry no call-out charge, so you'll have a clear written price before anything starts.

Question 5

What happens to the asbestos after you remove it?

Accepted Answer

Every piece is double-bagged, labelled, and taken to a licensed disposal site through a registered waste carrier. You receive the paperwork confirming it was disposed of correctly.
