THE PROBLEM
Finding asbestos in your home or workplace is worrying — and it’s easy to panic or put off dealing with it. You need to know it’s being handled by people who are properly licensed, who won’t cut corners, and who’ll leave the property safe and clean when they’re done. That’s the job we’ve been doing in Birmingham for 20 years.
WHY ASBESTOS MUST BE REMOVED
Asbestos isn’t dangerous just by being present — it’s dangerous when it’s disturbed. Undamaged, sealed asbestos can sometimes be left in place safely. But once it’s cracked, drilled, cut, or starts to break down with age, it releases microscopic fibres into the air. Breathe those fibres in over time and they can cause serious, often fatal, lung conditions — including asbestosis, mesothelioma, and lung cancer. These illnesses can take 20 to 40 years to show symptoms, which is what makes ongoing exposure so easy to overlook.
This is why renovation work, ageing buildings, and general wear and tear all raise the risk over time — even in a property that’s been fine for decades. If asbestos is confirmed in your home or workplace, dealing with it properly isn’t optional caution — it’s about protecting the long-term health of everyone who uses the building.

FAQs
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You often can’t tell just by looking — many asbestos materials look identical to non-hazardous versions of the same product. If your property was built or renovated before 2000 and you’re planning work, a professional survey is the only reliable way to know for certain.
Can I test for asbestos myself?
We’d strongly advise against it. Disturbing a suspected asbestos material to take a sample is exactly the kind of action that releases fibres into the air — the risk of DIY testing usually outweighs the benefit. A professional survey is a safer and more accurate route.
How often should I have my property tested for asbestos?
There’s no fixed schedule for most homeowners — the key trigger is any renovation, demolition, or damage to a suspected material. Commercial properties with an asbestos management plan typically need periodic re-inspection; we can advise on a schedule that fits your building.
What happens if asbestos is found in my property?
It doesn’t automatically mean immediate removal. If it’s in good condition and won’t be disturbed, it can sometimes be safely managed or encapsulated in place. If it needs to come out — because it’s damaged, deteriorating, or in the way of planned work — we’ll explain the process, give you a fixed price, and handle it from survey to disposal.
What are the most common areas or materials you find asbestos in?
In homes, it’s most often Artex ceilings, garage roofing, airing cupboard tanks, and older floor tiles. In commercial and industrial buildings, it’s typically cladding, cement roof sheeting, pipe lagging, and ceiling tiles. See the table above for a fuller list.
What impact will removal have on the use of my business or home?
It depends on the scale and location of the work. Small, contained jobs — like a single Artex ceiling — often don’t require you to vacate or close. Larger jobs may need part of the property sealed off temporarily. We’ll always tell you exactly what to expect before work starts, so there are no surprises.
Is it dangerous to stay in the property while you work?
We’ll always tell you clearly whether you need to vacate during the removal, based on the type and extent of asbestos found. Many smaller jobs don’t require you to leave.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Birmingham?
It depends on the type, amount, and location of the asbestos. We give a fixed price after a free survey — no hidden extras.
Do I need a survey before I can sell or renovate my property?
If you’re planning building work or a sale on a property built before 2000, a survey is strongly recommended and often required by law before work starts.
What happens to the asbestos once you remove it?
It’s double-bagged, labelled, and taken to a licensed disposal site, with a Waste Transfer Note provided as proof of correct disposal.
