Asbestos in Dunfermline
Dunfermline is a historic former capital of Scotland in Fife, a linen- and mining-heritage city with stone tenements, Victorian terraces and large post-war estates. Its industrial buildings, mid-century schools and public buildings, and 1960s-70s housing commonly contain artex, asbestos insulating board, lagging and asbestos cement roofing and soffits.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Dunfermline properties safe the right way — identified, proven in the lab, and either contained or removed with paperwork that satisfies lenders, buyers and the HSE.

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 Dunfermline: FAQs
Do older Dunfermline tenements and homes contain asbestos?
Often — the city's linen and mining heritage and its pre-2000 housing mean lagging, AIB, artex and asbestos cement are common. A survey before refurbishment is the only reliable way to know what is present.
How much is an asbestos survey in Dunfermline?
A management survey for a typical home starts from around £200, including sampling and a written register, with single samples from £50 to £80. We confirm pricing before attending across Fife.
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.
