Asbestos Removal in Inverness
For safe, compliant asbestos removal in Inverness, our HSE-licensed and non-licensed teams handle everything from a single garage roof to a full strip-out across Scotland.
Asbestos in Inverness
Inverness is the capital of the Highlands, a fast-growing city of Victorian stone tenements, interwar housing and large modern estates such as Culloden and Smithton. Its older tenements, mid-century schools and public buildings, and 1960s-70s housing commonly contain artex, asbestos insulating board and asbestos cement roofing and soffits.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Inverness properties safe the right way — identified, proven in the lab, and either contained or removed with paperwork that satisfies lenders, buyers and the HSE.

Four steps to certainty
Plan
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.
Remove
Operatives in full RPE strip and double-bag material, decontaminating as they go.
Clear
An independent analyst runs the 4-stage clearance and issues the certificate of reoccupation. Waste leaves on consignment notes.
Asbestos Removal in Inverness: FAQs
Do older Inverness tenements contain asbestos?
Pre-2000 tenements and houses across Inverness can contain artex, AIB, lagging and asbestos cement. As the materials are bound and hidden, a survey before any refurbishment is the only reliable way to know what is present.
How far around the Highlands do you cover?
We survey and test across Inverness and out to Nairn, Dingwall and the surrounding Highland towns. A management survey for a typical home starts from around £200, with pricing confirmed before we travel.
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.
