We handle asbestos-containing materials found in garage roofs, asbestos cement sheets, floor tiles, pipe lagging, insulation boards, and older roofing materials.

Our Asbestos Removal Services in Harlow
We provide domestic and commercial asbestos removal and disposal throughout Harlow, including residential properties, business premises, and managed buildings, with independent asbestos surveys and testing arranged where necessary.
Asbestos Removal & Disposal
Our asbestos removal services follow controlled removal procedures using suitable PPE, appropriate containment, and safe working methods. We deal with asbestos cement roofing, garage roofs, floor tiles, asbestos pipe lagging, insulation boards, and other asbestos-containing materials. Our team also manages asbestos collection, secure packaging, asbestos transport, and hazardous waste disposal at authorised facilities. We can assist with asbestos garage roof removal and asbestos sheet collection where required.
Asbestos Testing & Sampling
Concerned that a material in your property may contain asbestos? We arrange professional asbestos sampling and testing through independent UKAS-accredited laboratories. Laboratory analysis can identify asbestos types such as chrysotile (white asbestos), amosite (brown asbestos), and crocidolite (blue asbestos). Testing helps establish whether asbestos is present before refurbishment, demolition, repairs, or other building work begins.
Asbestos Surveys
We arrange independent asbestos surveys throughout Harlow, including management surveys for ongoing asbestos management and refurbishment and demolition surveys before intrusive building work. A professional asbestos inspection helps identify suspected asbestos-containing materials, assess their condition, and recommend suitable precautions. A fast turnaround on asbestos survey reports is available, often within 24 hours, depending on the survey requirements and laboratory availability.
Asbestos Encapsulation
Asbestos does not always need to be removed if the material is stable and unlikely to be disturbed. In suitable circumstances, encapsulation or containment can help prevent airborne fibre release. We can discuss whether leaving the material safely managed is appropriate and arrange an asbestos survey or inspection before recommending the next step.

Found Asbestos? Do Not Panic.
If you suspect asbestos in your home or workplace, stop any work that could disturb the material. Cutting, drilling, or breaking asbestos-containing materials can release airborne fibres that are dangerous when inhaled. Avoid handling the material and arrange professional asbestos testing or an appropriate survey before continuing refurbishment or removal work.

FAQs
Can asbestos be left in place?
Yes. Asbestos-containing materials that are in good condition and unlikely to be disturbed can sometimes remain in place under a suitable asbestos management plan. Encapsulation may also be an option following a professional assessment.
How do I know if a material contains asbestos?
Asbestos cannot be reliably identified by appearance alone. Professional asbestos sampling and laboratory testing can confirm whether a suspected material contains asbestos.
What happens after asbestos disposal?
Removed asbestos is safely packaged, labelled and transported to an authorised hazardous waste disposal facility. A waste consignment note is provided where required to document the disposal process.
Do you offer licensed and non-licensed asbestos removal?
Yes. We provide non-licensed asbestos removal and arrange licensed asbestos removal through appropriately HSE-licensed specialist contractors when required by the type of material and work involved.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovation work?
If your property was built before 2000 and planned refurbishment may disturb asbestos-containing materials, a refurbishment and demolition survey may be required before intrusive work starts.
Do landlords need to manage asbestos?
Landlords and those responsible for non-domestic premises, including certain communal areas in residential buildings, may have legal duties to identify and manage asbestos risks under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
Can I get a quick asbestos survey report?
Yes. We can arrange asbestos surveys with a fast turnaround, with reports often available within 24 hours depending on the survey type, laboratory analysis and availability.
