What we remove (domestic & commercial)

We safely remove and dispose of common asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) found across Richmond and Twickenham:

  • Asbestos cement – corrugated garage/lean-to roofs, shed panels, soffits, gutters, downpipes
  • AIB (asbestos insulating board) – ceiling tiles, partition panels, service risers (planned works)
  • Textured coatings (Artex) – ceilings and walls (encapsulation or removal options)
  • Flooring – vinyl tiles and bitumen adhesives
  • Pipe insulation/lagging – assessed case-by-case to determine licensing requirements
  • Debris & small items – securely bagged and collected via our asbestos collection service

Important: please don’t cut, sand or break suspect materials. Call us first—often the safest (and most economical) option is to leave materials undisturbed until assessed.

Our 4-step process (clear, compliant, stress-free)

1) Quick consultation & quote
Send photos and a brief description, or arrange a short site visit. We’ll confirm likely material type, risks and the most efficient, compliant approach—then provide a fixed price.

2) Testing or survey (if required)
When the material is unknown or higher-risk, we arrange representative sampling through accredited laboratories. Learn more and book via asbestos testing services.

3) Method statement, RAMS & scheduling
You’ll receive a plain-English plan covering isolation, PPE, dust suppression, removal technique, clean-down and waste transport. We then agree a convenient date that minimises disruption.

4) Removal, clean-down & disposal
Trained operatives complete the work using controlled methods, followed by thorough HEPA vacuuming and wipe-downs. Waste is transported to licensed facilities and you receive your hazardous waste consignment note for full traceability.

Only need a pickup? Book our flexible asbestos collection for safely bagged or boxed ACMs.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Business

Pricing depends on material type, quantity, height/access and whether testing or enclosures are required. Asbestos cement (e.g., garage roofs) is typically the most economical; AIB and insulation require higher controls. For an accurate figure, get a free quote via our contact page.

Not always. Clearly identifiable asbestos cement can sometimes be removed without prior lab confirmation. For textured coatings, AIB, pipe insulation and unknowns, we recommend sampling first. Book testing here: asbestos testing services.

For most small, contained jobs, no. We isolate the work area and maintain strict dust control. For larger or sensitive works, we’ll agree the safest plan to keep disruption minimal.

No. Many ACMs fall under non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work. Where a licence is required (based on the material and method), we’ll advise clearly and put the correct arrangements in place before starting.

Client Experiences

Darren and his team removed and replaced our garage roof it was all done in a day I couldn't be more happy with the results the whole experience was hassle free from start to finish

Job location: KT3

Darren and the team were brilliant they came in and took the asbestos roof of my shed and replaced it the same day and left the place cleaner than what it was before. Definitely use again.

Job location: KT19

I had discovered various asbestos sheets that the neighbour's builders had illegally dumped behind my property. I got in contact with Advance Clearance in the evening and the asbestos was cleared in a professional manner the following day. The workers were very cautious, they wore PPE (gloves/masks) and wrapped the waste asbestos in protective material. Very speedy and professional, highly recommended.

Job location: CR4

Can’t fault Darren and his team. They removed an old asbestos garage roof and replaced it with a box profile steel one-looks great and no more leaks. I’ve used this company before and will definitely recommend them. Very professional from start to finish.

Job location: KT5

Excellent interaction with Darren at Advanced Clearance. Testing job was arranged promptly and sample taker arrived when they said they would. Test was sent off same day, and I received the result back on the second working day afterwards. I was invoiced quickly afterwards. Would have no hesitation using Advance Clearance again if needed.

Job location: RH1

Darren and his colleagues came to survey the job, explained what they would do and then arranged an appointment. On the day they did the job efficiently. They were all polite and cleared up afterwards and I am please with the replacement roof.
