Lee Common: your questions answered
How far is Lee Common from London?
Lee Common is about 30 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover small places like Lee Common?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
How can I get a price?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can I just skim over it?
You can, if it’s intact: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Do not sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
How it works
We wear disposable coveralls and suitable respirators, and the room stays closed. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
- We sample the coating first
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a quote
- The room is sealed off and the coating removed wet, never sanded or dry-scraped
- We clean up and dispose of the waste legally
Getting ready
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
Ask for a quote
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.

Afterwards
Tell your plasterer and electrician what was done.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Keep pets out of the work area
What to avoid
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.

What else we do in Lee Common
What we deal with in Lee Common
Older coatings are often painted over many times, which can make them look newer than they are.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Landlord refurbishments
Non-domestic buildings like Lee Common Church of England School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.
What your quote should include
- VAT, clearly stated
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
What it costs
We base our quote on:
- The category of work
- The survey scope
- The size of the job
- Parking and access charges
Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Helping us quote
What to photograph:
- A clear close-up
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Street parking nearby
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
What’s included, and what is not
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Plastering and making good are normally separate jobs
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Other materials may need their own approach
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Artex ceilings
- Patched or painted coatings
- Coated plasterboard
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Textured walls
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
Weighing up your options
A test before removal can save money: a clear result means normal methods. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
