Asbestos in Preston

Preston is Lancashire's Guild city. Cotton built it — Horrockses' mills and dozens more — and the docks at Riversway, the Victorian terraces of Fishwick, Deepdale, Ashton and Plungington, the interwar and post-war semis of Fulwood, Ribbleton and Penwortham, and 1960s development from the Grade II-listed bus station to the estates at Ingol and Larches all followed. Bamber Bridge and Broughton round out the PR area.
The mills and older works are the licensed end: sprayed coatings, boiler and pipe lagging, AIB and cement roofs. The terraces mostly turn up Artex, cellar lagging and floor tiles; the semis have asbestos cement garages, soffits and water tanks; and the 1960s–70s flats, schools and offices have AIB panels and ceiling tiles. Thirty-five miles from our depot, we cover all PR postcodes with next-day site inspections.

How a Preston job runs

Every job follows the same five stages, whether it is a single garage roof or a full building strip.
01
Survey or sample
If there is no survey, we sample first and wait for UKAS-accredited lab analysis. That result decides whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed — nothing is priced or planned before it comes back.
02
Fixed written quote
A plan of work written for your building, priced in writing. No day rates and no variations invented once we are on site.
03
Notification
Licensed work is notified to the HSE fourteen days before it starts on an ASB5. Notifiable non-licensed work is notified too. That notice period sets the earliest possible start date.
04
Controls and removal
Licensed work runs inside a sealed enclosure with airlocks, negative pressure units, RPE and a decontamination unit. Non-licensed work uses controlled wetting, hand tools and double bagging.
05
Clearance and paperwork
An independent UKAS analyst carries out the four-stage clearance. You receive the Certificate of Reoccupation, air monitoring results and waste consignment notes.

Preston asbestos questions, answered

Do I need a survey before you can quote in Preston?
Not always. If you already hold a survey or a lab result, send it over and we will price from that. If you do not, we sample first — a UKAS-accredited laboratory confirms whether the material contains asbestos and which type it is, and that determines how the work has to be carried out.
How quickly can you start in Preston?
Licensed work must be notified to the HSE fourteen days before it begins, so that sets the earliest start date. Non-licensed work such as cement sheeting, floor tiles and textured coatings can usually be booked within days. Disturbed material and emergencies are dealt with sooner — call and we will tell you honestly what is possible.
What does asbestos removal cost in Preston?
It depends on the material, the quantity and the access. Cement garage roofs are priced by sheet or by square metre; licensed work inside an enclosure is priced per job. Every quote is fixed in writing before work starts — our published price ranges are here.
Do you take the waste away as well?
Yes. Asbestos waste is double-wrapped, carried out through the transit route and consigned to a licensed transfer station. The consignment notes come back to you with the clearance certificate in the completion pack.
