Asbestos cleaning and debris clean-up
Broken asbestos cement and fallen textured coating leave debris and dust behind. We clean it up, in the loft, under the floor, in an outbuilding or in a room, and take the waste away.
- Over 12 years’ experience
- Fully insured
- HSE compliant
- Environment Agency registered waste carrier
- Same or next day service
Where we clean
- Lofts, where a cement water tank or sheet has broken.
- Under floors and in floor voids.
- Garages, sheds and outbuildings with broken cement sheets.
- Rooms where a textured ceiling or wall has come down.
- Gutters on asbestos cement roofs.
In the trade this is called an environmental clean: clearing the debris and dust so the area is clean again.
What a clean involves
- Protective suits and PPE are worn on every job.
- Dust and debris are taken up with a class-H vacuum and damp wipes, never a brush.
- Debris, used wipes and suits are double bagged and labelled.
- An Environment Agency registered waste carrier takes the waste to an approved waste transfer site.
- You receive the consignment note for your records.
What this service does not cover
Worth knowing
Higher-risk materials
Loose loft insulation, pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and insulating board, or debris from them, are not part of this service. If we find any of them, we stop and tell you. Leave them undisturbed.
Note
Large amounts of debris
This service is for debris from a breakage, not a building where dust has spread through every room. Describe how much there is when you get in touch.
What moves the price of a clean

A photo from a safe distance is enough to start. There is no need to touch or move anything to take it.
If something has just broken
A dropped tank, a ceiling down, a sheet cracked in a storm: the steps below come first. Our emergency callout page covers urgent jobs.
Worth knowing
If the material has already been disturbed
Already drilled, sanded or broken it? Stop work and keep everyone else out of the area. Do not sweep up the dust or debris, and do not try to repair or remove the damaged material.

Asbestos cleaning questions
What is an environmental clean?
The trade name for cleaning up asbestos debris and dust after a breakage, so the area is clean again.
Can I clean up the debris myself?
We advise against it. HSE says not to try to repair or remove asbestos materials without training, and not to use a sweeping brush.
How do I know the debris is asbestos?
Often you cannot tell by looking. A photo is a starting point, and a test gives a definite answer.
Do you only clean lofts?
No. Lofts are common, but we clean wherever the debris is: under floors, in outbuildings, in rooms and in gutters.
What happens to the waste?
It is double bagged, labelled and taken to an approved waste transfer site, and you receive the consignment note.
