Asbestos removal near Addington
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. Whether it’s old flues and old floor tiles and black adhesive, we cover cement soffits, floor tiles and flue pipes.
In Addington, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so access and parking are planned carefully. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

Helpful guides
Typical removal jobs in Addington
Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Debris left from a previous job
- Finds during refurbishment
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Old flues
Older buildings in Addington, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.
Questions to ask before booking
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- Whether VAT is included
Addington: your questions answered
Do you work in Addington despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you work near West Wickham station?
Yes, we cover Addington and the area towards West Wickham station, about 1.7 miles north-east.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
For landlords, agents and businesses
For managing agents and freeholders in Addington, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Which option is right?
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
What you get
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing

After the job
File the waste paperwork safely: it proves legal disposal.

- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Book the replacement before removal
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
Things not to do
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
