Asbestos Collection & Disposal

Our cost is based on; how much asbestos there is and what condition it is in.

When we talk about condition, our best prices are when the asbestos is correctly prepared in asbestos bags and there is no loose asbestos. When the asbestos is broken up, we would need to supply correct bagging and potentially vacuum the area after with a H Class asbestos vacuum.

We cover the majority of England & Wales.

For our best rates the asbestos will need to be wrapped ready for collection. However, we can use appropriate bags but it may cost you a bit more to cover our time and the asbestos packaging materials.

We typically can collect your asbestos within 1 – 3 working days from request. Please note this is subject to availability.

Within 14 days of collection and receipt of payment, we will provide an asbestos certificate, known in the trade as a hazardous consignment note.
