Non-Licensed Asbestos Removal Specialists
Many common asbestos materials fall under non-licensed work, but that does not make them safe to handle without the right expertise. Removed incorrectly, they release hazardous fibres and carry serious legal risk. These are the materials we remove most often, all typical of buildings put up before 2000.
- Cement sheets and roofing panels
- Garage roofs and outbuildings
- Soffits, fascias, gutters, and downpipes
- Floor tiles, vinyl, and adhesives
- Textured coatings such as Artex
- Flues, pipes, fuse boards, and flash guards
Removal Is Not Always Necessary
We will not push removal when it is not needed. If a material is in good condition and unlikely to be disturbed, encapsulation is often the better answer: the asbestos is sealed with specialist coatings or coverings to prevent fibre release, at lower cost and with less disruption than full removal. We advise you honestly on whether removal or encapsulation suits the material, its condition, and its location.
Sometimes the safest, most cost-effective option is to seal asbestos in place, not rip it out.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost for someone to remove asbestos?
The cost of asbestos removal depends on the type of asbestos material, its location, and the amount that needs to be removed. Smaller jobs such as asbestos cement sheets or garage roofs are generally less expensive than larger or more complex removal projects. At Complete Asbestos Surveys, we provide competitive asbestos removal services across Yorkshire and can provide a clear quote once the material has been assessed.
Can you safely remove asbestos yourself?
In some situations, small amounts of low-risk asbestos materials such as asbestos cement can legally be removed by property owners. However, asbestos removal carries health risks if materials are damaged or handled incorrectly. It is usually safest to use trained asbestos professionals who understand how to remove, contain, and dispose of asbestos materials safely and in accordance with UK regulations.
How do I know if asbestos needs to be removed?
Asbestos does not always need to be removed. If asbestos-containing materials are in good condition and unlikely to be disturbed, they can often remain safely in place and be managed. Removal is usually recommended when asbestos is damaged, deteriorating, or likely to be disturbed during renovation or demolition work. An asbestos survey or sample test can confirm whether removal is necessary and the safest way to manage the material.
Does asbestos always need to be removed?
Not always. If asbestos materials are in good condition and unlikely to be disturbed, they can often be safely managed in place. In some cases, encapsulation or regular monitoring may be recommended instead of removal. A professional asbestos survey can determine the safest management option.
How long does asbestos removal take?
The time required for asbestos removal depends on the size of the job and the type of materials involved. Small removal projects can often be completed within a few hours, while larger projects may take longer. After removal, asbestos waste must be safely packaged and transported to licensed disposal facilities.
