How We Work
Survey & Identification
We conduct a thorough inspection of all ceiling materials, taking samples for laboratory analysis where required. A full written report and quotation are provided before any works commence.
Enclosure & Preparation
The room is sealed with polythene sheeting and negative pressure units are installed to prevent fibre migration. All furniture and fittings are protected or removed.
Controlled Removal
Ceiling tiles, panels, and coatings are carefully removed using wet methods and specialist tools to minimise fibre release. All materials are double-bagged and labelled on removal.
Air Testing & Clearance
On completion, independent clearance air testing is conducted. A clearance certificate is issued confirming the area is safe for re-occupation and any subsequent trades to proceed.
Disposal & Handover
All asbestos waste is transported to a licensed disposal facility. Full waste transfer notes, your clearance certificate, and all survey documentation are provided on completion.
Common Questions
What types of asbestos are found in ceilings?
The most common ceiling ACMs are asbestos insulation board (AIB) used in suspended ceiling tiles, chrysotile (white asbestos) in Artex textured coatings, and asbestos cement in some tile products. AIB is a licensed material and requires a higher level of control than cement or Artex.
How do I know if my ceiling contains asbestos?
Visual inspection alone cannot confirm the presence of asbestos. The only reliable method is laboratory analysis of a sample. If your property was built or refurbished before 2000, we recommend an asbestos survey before any ceiling works.
Can ceiling asbestos be encapsulated rather than removed?
Yes. If ceiling tiles or coatings are in good condition and undamaged, encapsulation — sealing the surface to prevent fibre release — is a recognised management approach under CAR 2012. We can advise on whether removal or encapsulation is more appropriate for your specific situation.
Do I need to vacate my home during ceiling asbestos removal?
Yes. All occupants should vacate the property during removal works and until the clearance certificate has been issued. This is a standard safety requirement regardless of the type of ceiling ACM being removed.
How much does asbestos ceiling removal cost?
Costs depend on the ceiling area, the type of ACM present, and access conditions. A single room typically starts from £600–£1,200 including air testing. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quotation.
