Asbestos removal in Liverpool starts with a survey, not a sales visit.
Find out exactly what you have, whether it needs to come out and what removal should cost. An independent surveyor comes first. Licensed removal contractors then quote for the scope the survey has identified.

The cheapest asbestos removal is the one you did not need.
Liverpool has an unusually mixed building stock. Georgian townhouses sit beside Victorian warehouses, interwar estates, 1960s high-rise and a working port. Almost all of it was built, extended or repaired in the decades when asbestos went into roofs, ceilings, floors, soffits and lagging.
Much of that material is safe if it is in good condition and left alone. A survey identifies it, has suspect samples analysed in a laboratory and tells you which items can stay, which should be encapsulated and which really need to come out. Only then do removal quotes make sense, and you compare like with like.
What is an asbestos survey?Choose your type of building
Homes, flats and outbuildings
If your home was built before 2000, survey before the builders start. Loft conversions, extensions, new kitchens and garage roofs are the usual triggers. A survey tells you what is there, where, and whether it needs to be touched at all.
Offices, shops, schools and landlords
If you manage or maintain a non-domestic building, the duty to manage asbestos is yours. A management survey gives you the register, and a refurbishment survey protects the fit-out. Portfolio scheduling is available for agents and landlords.
Warehouses, factories and mills
Cement roofs, cladding, lagging and plant make older industrial buildings a priority. Surveys are planned around operations, with safe access to roofs and plant rooms, and a register your maintenance team can actually use.
Every type of asbestos survey
Four ways in, depending on whether the building is in use, about to be worked on, already surveyed, or you just need one answer.
Management survey
The standard survey for a building in normal use: find it, record it, manage it.

The fully intrusive survey required before building work, strip-out or demolition.

Tell us about the building
Send the postcode, the type of property, what you are planning and, if you like, up to five photos.
An independent surveyor gets in touch
We pass your enquiry to a partner surveyor, who agrees the type of survey, a date and a price with you directly.
Survey and sampling
The surveyor inspects, photographs and samples suspect materials. Samples go to a laboratory for analysis.
You receive the report
A written report with an asbestos register, photographs, results and recommended actions. It is yours to keep.
Removal only if it is needed
If something has to come out, we can connect you with licensed removal contractors for a quote. You are free to use anyone.
Removal comes second, not first
If your survey finds asbestos that is damaged, in the way of planned work or cannot be managed safely where it is, we connect you with licensed removal contractors who work across Merseyside. They quote for the scope the survey has already identified, so you are not guessing at the price.
