How asbestos removal works in Addiscombe
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. People often contact us about cement water tanks in lofts and finds during refurbishment, including flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and water tanks.
Removal jobs around Addiscombe often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Questions from Addiscombe
Do you cover Addiscombe and the area around Norwood Junction station?
Yes, we cover Addiscombe and the area towards Norwood Junction station, about 1.2 miles north.
Could my house in Addiscombe contain asbestos?
Any home in Addiscombe built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs do not normally affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.

For businesses and landlords in Addiscombe
For managing agents and freeholders in Addiscombe, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
If you run a business from older premises in Addiscombe, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Which option is right?
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.

Why people call us in Addiscombe
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
At a school such as Oasis Academy Shirley Park, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- VAT, clearly stated
- Suitable insurance for the work
- What paperwork you get

Looking after things afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it proves legal disposal.
Some practical advice:
- Let us know where we can park
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Avoid these
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
