Asbestos Removal in Cambridge
For safe, compliant asbestos removal in Cambridge, our HSE-licensed and non-licensed teams handle everything from a single garage roof to a full strip-out across East of England.
Asbestos in Cambridge
Cambridge is famed for its university colleges and riverside Backs, with Victorian terraces in Romsey and Mill Road and a fast-growing fringe of research and tech buildings. Post-war council estates such as Arbury and King's Hedges used system-built construction with asbestos insulating board and cement products. Terraced and interwar homes across the city commonly contain artex, textured ceilings and asbestos cement garage roofs.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Cambridge properties safe the right way — identified, proven in the lab, and either contained or removed with paperwork that satisfies lenders, buyers and the HSE.

We produce a plan of work (or notify the HSE for licensed jobs), method statement and risk assessment specific to your site.
Enclose
Work areas are sealed in controlled enclosures under negative pressure so no fibre escapes.

Clear
An independent analyst runs the 4-stage clearance and issues the certificate of reoccupation. Waste leaves on consignment notes.
Asbestos Removal in Cambridge: FAQs
Are Cambridge's terraced homes likely to contain asbestos?
Often, yes. The Victorian terraces around Mill Road and Romsey have usually been modernised over the years, introducing artex, asbestos floor tiles and AIB near boilers. A refurbishment survey before any work identifies these materials and keeps your project safe.
How quickly can you turn around asbestos test results in Cambridge?
We offer fast-track lab analysis for Cambridge samples, with results often available within 24 to 48 hours. Surveys for a typical home start from around £200 and include sampling and a clear written register.
Do I need a licensed contractor to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material. High-risk items like pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and asbestos insulating board need an HSE-licensed contractor. Lower-risk items such as cement sheets and floor tiles can be removed under non-licensed controls. We are licensed for both and will tell you which applies.
Can I stay in the property during removal?
For small non-licensed jobs, often yes, with the work area sealed off. For licensed removal inside the home we usually recommend vacating the affected zone until the clearance certificate is issued. We plan the safest sequence around you.
