Phone and WhatsApp
Phone
Phone is best when it is happening now. Tell us what has happened, where it is and whether work has stopped. We can often give a price during the call.
Send a photo taken from a few steps back, with your postcode. WhatsApp suits anyone who would rather not talk yet, or times when we are on a job. We will call you back.
Immediate steps
The risk arises when fibres are released into the air and breathed in. Undamaged material that is left undisturbed carries a very low risk.
- Stop any work on the material immediately and keep everyone else out of the area.
- Do not sweep it up or attempt to clear it yourself.

Emergency questions
Do you take callouts out of hours?
Yes. Call 07708 761540 with a description of what has happened. If we cannot pick up, message us on WhatsApp with a photo and we will call you back.
Can you come out at the weekend?
Yes. We are open 7am to 7pm, seven days a week, and out-of-hours callouts are also available.
How quickly can you get here?
We offer a same or next day service. Once we know what has happened and where, we confirm when we can attend.
Do I need to know if it’s asbestos?
No. A description of what is visible and, where possible, a photo are enough to start. Where a photo is not conclusive, we can test it.
The storm has already brought the sheets down. Can you collect them?
Yes. Sheets that are already down are a collection: see asbestos collection and disposal.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homes and businesses, including rented property. See commercial asbestos removal.
Do you cover my area?
We are based in Grays and cover London, the South East and East Anglia. Give your postcode when you call, or see areas we cover.
What does an emergency callout cost?
The price depends on the material, the quantity and the access to it. Every quote is free and carries no obligation.

An urgent call-out: a customer review
Rated 5 out of 5
I spoke to Ross of Smart Asbestos Solutions and informed him I needed someone urgently today to remove an asbestos pipe. Ross arranged for this to happen and everything went very smoothly with no problems and maintained great communication throughout, without me having to attend premises myself. Would definitely recommend.
