Which rules apply in the East of England?
Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, the presence of asbestos must be assessed (or presumed) before work that could disturb it, and a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before intrusive work in buildings built or refurbished before 2000. Licensed asbestos work is carried out only by licensed contractors.
What does it cost in the East of England?
Our guide range for a minor void in the East of England is £1,550–£3,650 per void. That is the UK range of £1,500–£3,500 (our estimate) adjusted by a regional cost factor of 1.04 (our own estimate); figures are before VAT where the source states it. Every job is priced after survey; specification, access and the condition of the homes will move the figure.
How do we deliver it?
We sequence the trades so the slow items (certificates, any asbestos work, kitchens) start first, and decoration and cleaning finish last. That is usually where days are won or lost.

What about asbestos?
If the home was built before 2000, we check your asbestos register before disturbing anything and ask for a refurbishment survey where intrusive work is planned. Licensed removal is carried out by licensed contractors.
