Asbestos in Peterborough
Peterborough is a cathedral city that became a brick-making centre, with the vast Fletton brickworks once supplying much of the nation's housing. Designated a new town in 1967, it added townships like Bretton and Orton built with system construction using asbestos insulating board and cement products. The Victorian terraces and post-war homes commonly hold artex, textured ceilings and asbestos cement soffits and garage roofs.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Peterborough 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 Peterborough: FAQs
Could my Peterborough new-town home contain asbestos?
Yes — the townships built during Peterborough's new-town expansion in the 1970s and 80s used asbestos insulating board, cement soffits and textured coatings. A survey before any renovation identifies exactly what your specific property holds.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Peterborough?
It depends on the material and quantity. Non-licensed jobs in Peterborough homes, such as removing floor tiles or a shed roof, often start from around £350, while licensed work on insulation board or lagging runs higher. We provide a fixed quote after surveying.
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.
