cost of having asbestos removed in the north of England

How much do asbestos specialists charge in the north of England per hour? I’d like to hire a professional to come out and take a look at my ceilings to establish whether there’s asbestos present. I want to get rid of the Artex from these surfaces but I don’t want to take any risks when it comes to asbestos.

"An asbestos surveyor in the north of England typically charges £50–£90 per hour, or often a flat call-out fee of £150–£300 for a basic survey/sample of a few ceilings. If you want lab testing of samples too, expect £200–£400 total for a small job like Artex ceilings. Always check they’re UKAS-accredited (e.g., via the UKAS or ARCA directory) before booking."

"You will need to contact an asbestos removal company who will come out and give you a free site survey.

All jobs are different there is no hourly rate for Removal. It is based on the quantity and complexity of the Removal. I suggest you allow for up to 3 companies to come out and survey the area to give you the best price for the job."
