Everything you need to know about asbestos removal
How much does asbestos removal cost in Birmingham & the West Midlands?
An asbestos survey in the Birmingham area costs £220-£650. Removing a garage roof typically costs £550-£1,400, while a full roof replacement costs £2,200-£6,500. Large-scale commercial removal can cost £4,500-£14,000+. Always get at least 3 quotes to compare.
Do I need an asbestos survey before removal?
Yes. Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012), before any refurbishment or demolition work on buildings built before 2000, you need an asbestos survey. Birmingham has a large stock of pre-2000 industrial and commercial buildings where asbestos is commonly found. A management survey identifies asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), while a refurbishment/demolition survey is more intrusive and required before building work.
Is it legal to remove asbestos yourself?
You can remove small amounts of non-licensed asbestos materials (e.g. cement sheets, floor tiles) yourself, but it is strongly recommended to use professionals. Licensed asbestos (sprayed coatings, insulation board, lagging) MUST be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
How do I find an HSE-licensed asbestos removal company in Birmingham?
Check the HSE public register of licensed asbestos removal contractors. Our directory lists Companies House registered businesses specialising in asbestos removal and remediation services across Birmingham and the West Midlands.
What types of asbestos are most dangerous?
Blue asbestos (crocidolite) and brown asbestos (amosite) are the most dangerous, but all types including white asbestos (chrysotile) can cause fatal diseases including mesothelioma, asbestosis and lung cancer. Any asbestos work requires proper precautions.
How long does asbestos removal take?
A small domestic job (garage roof) typically takes 1-2 days. A full house survey and removal can take 3-5 days. Large commercial projects can take several weeks. After removal, air clearance testing is required before the area can be reoccupied.
Why is asbestos so common in Birmingham buildings?
Birmingham's extensive industrial heritage means many factories, warehouses, offices and homes built before 2000 contain asbestos-containing materials. Asbestos was widely used in insulation, roofing, floor tiles and textured coatings. The West Midlands manufacturing sector relied heavily on asbestos products, making professional surveys essential before any renovation work.
Do I get a certificate after asbestos removal?
Yes. After removal, you should receive a 4-stage clearance certificate confirming the area is safe, plus waste consignment notes proving the asbestos was disposed of at a licensed facility. Keep these records for future property sales.
