National Asbestos Removal Centre and Better Home Hub

How Introductions Work

This site is run by Better Home Hub Ltd. Here's what happens to your enquiry, who pays, and what to check before you hire anyone.

Step by step

What happens when you get in touch

01

You send an enquiry

Tick what you need and how big the job is, then add your contact details. It takes a couple of minutes.

02

Better Home Hub receives it

The enquiry goes to Better Home Hub Ltd, the company that runs this site.

03

We find up to 3 local specialists

Better Home Hub finds up to 3 local asbestos specialists who cover your area, such as surveyors, analysts or removal contractors, and asks them to contact you with a quote. Companies pay us a fee when we introduce them, so this is free for you.

04

You decide

The specialist contacts you. Any quote or contract is between you and them, and you are under no obligation to go ahead.

Who pays, and what we don't check

There is no charge to you for the introduction. Specialists we introduce may pay Better Home Hub a fee, which is how this site is funded.

We are not a trade association or an accreditation body, and being introduced through us is not an endorsement or a guarantee of anyone's work. Please make your own checks.

Before you hire

Three checks worth making

Licensed work

Most work on sprayed coatings, pipe lagging and asbestos insulating board needs an HSE licence. Check the company is on the list of current licence holders that HSE links to.

Current licensed contractors

Surveys and testing

Ask whether the surveying organisation is accredited by UKAS for asbestos surveying, and whether samples go to a UKAS-accredited laboratory.
