How to Choose an Asbestos Contractor in Cambridge
Selecting the right asbestos removal company is an important decision. Here are key factors to consider when comparing contractors in the Cambridge area:
- Verify the HSE licence. Every contractor on this page is licence-verified, but you should also check the licence type matches your project — Standard licences cover full removal, while Scaffolding and Maintenance licences have a narrower scope.
- Get at least three quotes. Prices vary significantly between contractors. A written quote should detail the scope of work, waste disposal method, and expected timeline.
- Check reviews and references. Google reviews give a useful snapshot of customer experience. Ask contractors for references from similar projects in Cambridge.
- Ask about insurance. Licensed contractors should carry public liability insurance (typically £5–10 million) and employer’s liability cover. Request copies before work starts.
What to Expect from Asbestos Removal
Professional asbestos removal follows a strict process regulated by the HSE. The contractor will first carry out a site assessment and create a detailed plan of work. For licensable work, they must notify the HSE at least 14 days before starting.
During removal, the area is sealed with polythene sheeting and placed under negative air pressure to prevent fibre release. Workers wear full RPE (respiratory protective equipment) and disposable overalls. Removed asbestos is double-bagged in clearly labelled red bags and transported to a licensed waste facility.
After removal, the area is air-tested by an independent UKAS-accredited laboratory to confirm it is safe for re-occupation.
