Asbestos in Shrewsbury
Shrewsbury is Shropshire's county town, a medieval and Tudor centre wrapped in a loop of the Severn, with Georgian and Victorian housing and post-war estates. Its older homes, former industrial and railway buildings, and mid-century housing commonly contain artex, asbestos insulating board, lagging and asbestos cement garages and soffits.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Shrewsbury 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 Shrewsbury: FAQs
Is asbestos likely in a period Shrewsbury home?
In its 20th-century alterations, yes — artex, AIB, old floor tiles and cement garages are common in Shrewsbury's pre-2000 housing. A survey before refurbishment identifies them before they are disturbed.
How far around Shropshire do you cover?
We survey, test and arrange removal across Shrewsbury and the surrounding Shropshire towns and villages. A home management survey 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.
