For licensable asbestos work — including removal of sprayed coatings, pipe lagging, loose-fill insulation, and insulating board — yes, you must use an HSE-licensed contractor. It is a criminal offence to carry out licensable work without a licence. Lower-risk work like removing intact asbestos cement does not require a licence but still needs trained workers.

Residential asbestos removal typically costs £950–£3,750 depending on type and quantity. Garage roof removal runs £900–£1,100. Artex ceiling removal in a 3-bed house can cost £4,500–£6,500. Commercial projects can exceed £500,000. Always get at least three quotes from HSE-licensed contractors.

Verify the contractor holds a valid HSE licence (every contractor on this page is verified). Check the licence type matches your project — Standard for full removal, Scaffolding or Maintenance for narrower scope. Get at least three written quotes, ask for references, and confirm they carry public liability insurance (typically £5–10 million).
