If you suspect you have asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in your property, understanding the potential removal costs is a crucial first step. This guide focuses specifically on non-licensed asbestos work (NLW) – tasks involving materials like asbestos cement sheets, certain textured coatings (like Artex), and floor tiles, which don't require a formal HSE license provided the correct procedures are followed.
While cost is always a factor, ensuring asbestos removal is done safely and compliantly is paramount. Prices can vary, but here's a look at typical costs and why choosing a reputable provider offers the best value.
Factors Influencing Cost:
Several things affect the final price, including:
Type of Material: Different ACMs require different removal techniques.
Accessibility: How easy is it to reach the asbestos?
Amount: The total square meterage needing removal.
Location: Disposal costs and travel time can play a part.
Contractor Standards: Training, insurance, and operational procedures impact cost but guarantee quality.

We believe in transparency. While a site survey is always needed for a precise quote, here are our typical price ranges for common NLW tasks:
