How to Choose an Asbestos Contractor in Cambridgeshire
Selecting the right asbestos removal company is an important decision. Here are key factors to consider when comparing contractors in Cambridgeshire:
- 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 Cambridgeshire.
- 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 in Cambridgeshire
Professional asbestos removal in Cambridgeshire 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. The entire process typically takes 1–5 days for residential projects, though larger commercial jobs can run for several weeks.

What types of asbestos work require an HSE licence in Cambridgeshire?
Licensable asbestos work in Cambridgeshire (and across the UK) includes removal of sprayed coatings, pipe lagging, loose-fill insulation, and asbestos insulating board. These jobs must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor — it is a criminal offence to carry out licensable work without a licence. Lower-risk work such as removing asbestos cement sheets in good condition does not require a licence but still requires trained workers.
