Can anyone recommend asbestos removal company?

Mokka

A small job (1.1 m wide partition wall) but notifiable to the HSE, which makes it tricky. (AIB containing chrysotile and amosite)

I am finding it difficult to find a reliable company who could do a job quickly.

We are based in London.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Contact Local council Environmental health office "EHO" and they should have a list of approved asbestos removal companies ?

We used a good contractor, but completely the opposite side of London, so doubt they would travel across the river.
The surveyor who identified our asbestos also gave us a list of recommended contractors. Suggest that might be a route for you.

If you could PM me their contact details I would be grateful.

No point contacting the company who did the testing as they are too far away.

Funnily enough (I should have known better) I did try that.

My council is the notorious London Borough of Tower Hamlets. All I got was advice to contact ARCA.

My landlord does have an entry titled ASBESTOS on their website- I will try to post a link so you can have a :rotfl: by clicking it:

I don't mind so much the council being unhelpful now, but they never warned me it was there (nor their own contractors) and it's been sander, cut and drilled over the years.
