How much does asbestos removal cost?
The cost of asbestos removal depends on the material, the quantity and the access. A photo and a postcode are usually enough to price a job, and we can often quote straight away on the phone, or on site.
- Over 12 years’ experience
- Fully insured
- HSE compliant
- Environment Agency registered waste carrier
- Same or next day service
Factors that set the cost
- Quantity. A larger roof costs more than a small one.
- Whether the material is already down. Collection costs less than removal. See collection and disposal.
- Condition. Whole sheets are removed differently from cracked or disturbed ones.
- Access. Parking beside the job is simpler than a long carry through a side gate or up stairs.
- Height. Work above a single storey requires more preparation.
How access changes the price
Two garages the same size
One has clear access from the road. The other sits behind a locked gate at the end of a garden. The two are priced differently.
Two Artex ceilings the same size
One is in a bedroom. The other is over a stairwell and takes longer to reach, so the prices differ.

Comparing asbestos removal quotes
A written quote should set out what is included, so that quotes for the same job can be compared like for like.
What a quote should include
- The quote states what is being removed, where it is and roughly how much there is.
- It says whether disposal of the waste is included in the price.
- It names where the waste will be taken. Asbestos waste from homes and businesses needs a consignment note whenever it is moved.
- It confirms that the firm is insured and registered as a waste carrier.
What to look out for
- The price comes with no description of the work or the material.
- There is no mention of where the waste will go, or of a consignment note.
- The firm presses for a booking on the spot.
On every job, protective suits and PPE are worn, waste is bagged or wrapped and labelled before it is moved, and it is disposed of at an approved waste transfer site with a consignment note. We are fully insured and an Environment Agency registered waste carrier.
Asbestos removal cost questions
How much does asbestos garage roof removal cost?
The price depends on the size of the roof, the condition of the sheets and the access to the garage. Whether the roof is being replaced afterwards is a separate job. See garage roof removal for what moves the price.
How much does Artex removal cost?
The price depends on the area of ceiling or wall covered, the room and the access. A photo of the ceiling helps us identify the material before quoting. See Artex removal.
How much does floor tile removal cost?
The price depends on the floor area, whether the tiles are loose or firmly stuck down, and how much black adhesive is underneath. See floor tile removal.
How much does asbestos collection cost?
The price depends on the quantity already down and whether it is bagged or stacked. Householders in Essex should check the council’s subsidised collection first. See collection and disposal.
How much does asbestos testing cost?
The price depends on the number of samples, the location and how quickly the result is needed. A same-day result usually costs more than the next working day. We take the sample and send it to a UKAS-accredited lab, with results the same day or the next working day. See asbestos testing.
Is the quote free?
Yes. Quotes are free, and there is no obligation to go ahead.
Can you quote from a photo?
Often, yes. One clear photo taken from a few steps back, with a postcode, is the best starting point. Where a photo is not sufficient, we quote on site.
Why won’t you give a price online?
Access, height and condition vary too much between jobs for a price list. Each job is quoted individually, free of charge.
