How much does asbestos removal cost?

You’ve found asbestos. Now you want to know how much will it cost to remove the asbestos?

It’s often the most difficult question to answer until we see the size, location, and condition of the specific site in question.

The costs of removing asbestos

The material and equipment costs involved in removing asbestos are quite high. As it’s a specialist hazardous industry, the goods are subject to many regulations and therefore a high cost of manufacturing.

In order for us to do our job correctly, we need the right equipment, materials, and PPE to protect ourselves.

Disposing of waste such as asbestos needs to be paid for, and a copy of a hazardous waste note issued. Unfortunately, this is not free for us and therefore the cost needs to be passed on to the client.

At E4 Environmental, we always try to offer the most cost-effective solution without compromising on Health or Safety.

The cost of all asbestos removal projects depends on many factors.

  • the location, condition, and quantity of asbestos materials
  • how the asbestos is fixed to the walls/ceilings etc.
  • access requirements - is it at a high level or in a confined space?
  • on-site services - is there access to power outlets, welfare facilities, running water?

When we quote for a project, we take all of these things into consideration, including how long the job will take and the specific equipment needed.

It also includes our admin planning time, as each asbestos removal job needs to be planned individually. Licensed works also need to be notified to the HSE and a site-specific plan of works and risk assessment done.

Non-licensed asbestos works will usually be cheaper to undertake as fewer control measures, therefore not as much equipment is needed; however, that is not always the case. Sometimes removal jobs that seem small may come with high waste disposal costs, so there are always many factors to consider.

Additional costs associated with asbestos removal

Some projects need an independent analyst in many cases read about working with analysts here, which is an added cost to the works.

Due to the high level of restrictions and policies in place to ensure safety, it’s an extensive job to plan the removal of asbestos in many cases.

In short, there’s no easy way to provide an estimate until we see the specific project. The best thing to do is have a chat to us.

Q: What should I do if I find asbestos?

Before removals can take place, the type of asbestos needs to be identified with an independent surveyor to determine the exact properties. Never attempt to remove it yourself, and call a professional such as ourselves. If it is in bad condition it may be treated as an urgent matter.
