We are often asked by our clients about the cost to remove asbestos.
Although we don’t actually carry out asbestos removal ourselves, we work closely with a couple of specialist asbestos removal companies.
The major factor when it comes to the cost to remove asbestos is in the quantity of asbestos to be removed.
Saying that, there are some ways in which you can easily estimate the cost to remove asbestos by following these steps:-
The 1st step you need to take is to identify whether or not there is actually any asbestos present.
For this, you will require a professional asbestos surveyor who will assess the presence, quantity and risks of asbestos.
You can expect to pay anything from £50+ for the Surveyors materials and £200+ for an asbestos survey to be carried out.
Following a professional asbestos survey, you will receive a detailed report to inform you of where the asbestos is, what type and recommendations.
The asbestos report may highlight encapsulation as an option.
This is where a protective adhesive is applied to all asbestos materials, preventing the release of harmful dust.
The cost of asbestos Encapsulation is around £8+ per square metre.
The asbestos report may recommend that asbestos removal is required rather than encapsulation.
Asbestos removal must be performed by licensed professionals.
The approximate cost to remove asbestos is around £50+ per square metre.
You will notice that the cost to remove asbestos is much more than encapsulation.
But it provides peace of mind knowing that the harmful material will be completely removed.
You may find that once the asbestos has been removed that you are left with large areas that need re-boarding.
Basic re-boarding costs around £400+.
According to the asbestos removal companies we work closely with, you can expect to pay in the region of £1000 or less for smaller areas.
If you have a domestic water tank for example, this can be removed and disposed of for around £200.
However, larger areas such as an asbestos garage removal will cost considerably more, with costs in the region of £2500+.
These prices may seem high, but the price is definitely worth it when you consider the alternative effects on your family’s health.
