Obstacles such as trees, fence lines, a steep roof slope, or anything that can hinder accessibility can all make an estimate go up instead of down. The height and location can also increase costs since there is a price for transporting asbestos safely for proper disposal.

To get an accurate idea of the cost, you need to contact the experts before they bring asbestos bags. Here are some ways you can get a more accurate quote.

Send a photo of the work area. Show the contractors what the place looks like and gives them an idea of how much will need removal. If there is less than the contractor thinks, you can get a lower price.

The more square meters of asbestos cement sheeting needs disposal, the cheaper the cost per square meter. In some cases, this means you are better off having all the material removed at once instead of doing it section by section.

If the material has no damage, in good condition, and is used as an internal lining, you might consider leaving out the asbestos bags. If the sheets are intact, they are not a significant risk – unless you start renovating.
