At Asbestos Remove, we provide fully licensed asbestos abatement and removal services for properties across the UK.

Our team of professionals works in compliance with UKAS and Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards, ensuring asbestos materials are removed safely and in accordance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. We handle projects from initial site preparation to full removal and remediation, leaving your property ready for reoccupation or further works.

Is Asbestos removal Required?

Asbestos removal is required whenever asbestos-containing building materials (ACMs) are found to be damaged, deteriorating, or likely to be disturbed during maintenance or repair works.

This is a legal requirement under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 for high-risk ACMs such as asbestos cement, pipe lagging, and sprayed coatings. Property managers, contractors, and duty holders must ensure removal is carried out by licensed companies to prevent asbestos exposure, health effects, and legal breaches.

Which Projects Require Licensed Asbestos Removal?

Projects that require licensed asbestos removal include:

• Asbestos insulation board (AIB) removal – Ceiling panels, wall linings, or partition walls containing asbestos.
• Pipe lagging removal – Asbestos insulation around heating and water systems.
• Sprayed coating removal – Fireproofing or insulation sprayed onto structural steel or ceilings.
• Commercial properties – Offices, shops, or mixed-use buildings containing licensed ACMs.
• Industrial premises – Factories, warehouses, and plant rooms with asbestos enclosures.
• Demolition works – Sites undergoing demolition where asbestos has been identified.
• Small-scale licensed works – Even minor removal projects in domestic or commercial properties require proper licensing.

How Much Does Asbestos Removal Cost?

he cost of asbestos removal ranges from £250 to over £700 + VAT, depending on the size of the work area, accessibility, type of ACM, and urgency.

Costs are influenced by the amounts and types of asbestos materials, the complexity of the site, the number of areas requiring removal, additional air monitoring requirements, and whether the site is residential, public, or industrial.

What Is Involved in the Asbestos Removal Process?

The asbestos removal process begins with an initial asbestos survey to confirm the content, type, and condition of asbestos fibres present. Once identified, the work area is sealed off using containment systems with polythene sheeting and negative pressure units to prevent hazardous fibre release.

The ACMs are then carefully removed using controlled procedures designed to minimise disturbance and airborne contamination. Throughout the process, breathing protection, gloves, and protective clothing are used to keep people safe from asbestos exposure.

After removal, the area undergoes a thorough decontamination to clean all surfaces and eliminate any remaining debris. Asbestos waste is double-bagged in sealed bags and disposed of in accordance with local council rules and authorities.

Finally, full documentation is provided as a result, confirming that the site meets safety standards and is ready for reoccupation.

Who Can Legally Carry Out Asbestos Removal?

Only licensed asbestos abatement contractors, accredited by UKAS or holding an HSE licence, can legally carry out asbestos removal.

Our removal teams are fully trained professionals, experienced in hazardous environments, and operate independently from the testing and analysis process to maintain compliance. We also provide asbestos training and precautions advice to homeowners, schools, and business clients.

How Is Air Quality Ensured During and After Asbestos Removal?

Air monitoring is conducted during asbestos removal using calibrated pumps and UKAS-approved fibre-counting methods.

The legal safety threshold is 0.01 fibres per cubic centimetre (f/cm³). If air tests exceed this limit, additional cleaning and encapsulation are carried out before reoccupation is permitted.

Can Asbestos Removal Be Done the Same Day as Discovery?

In many cases, asbestos removal can be arranged the same day as discovery, provided a licensed contractor is available and all protective safety measures are in place.

We offer flexible scheduling, including early morning, evening, and emergency call-out services, to minimise project delays.

What Equipment and Safety Measures Are Used During Asbestos Removal?

Our asbestos removal teams use:

• Negative pressure units – Maintain safe airflow in sealed areas.
• Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM) air testing units – Monitor airborne fibres.
• Smoke testing equipment – Check enclosure integrity before removal.
• High-powered lighting – Identify hidden asbestos debris.
• Specialist PPE gear – Protect workers from asbestos exposure.
• Calibrated pumps – Maintain accuracy in air monitoring.
• Regular equipment calibration – Ensure compliance with health effects and safety standards.

Is a Clearance Certificate Issued After Asbestos Removal?

After asbestos removal, we issue a Certificate of Reoccupation once the site passes all safety inspections and air tests. This certificate is essential for compliance, insurance purposes, and project handover, confirming the property is safe to enter without restrictions.

Contact Asbestos Remove today to arrange a consultation with licensed asbestos professionals and ensure your site is free from hazardous asbestos, lung cancer, asbestosis, mesothelioma, and other diseases linked to prolonged asbestos exposure.
