How asbestos removal works in Adelphi
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Common materials are water tanks, textured coatings and flue pipes, and typical jobs are cement flues and gutters and old sheds and coal bunkers.
Removal jobs around Adelphi often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so access and parking are planned carefully. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Where asbestos turns up
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Old cold water tanks
- Textured coatings
- Materials found mid-project
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
Landlords near London Charing Cross station often time removal for when a property is empty.
Questions to ask before booking

Common questions in Adelphi

Do you cover Adelphi and the area around London Charing Cross station?
Yes, we cover Adelphi, including the streets around London Charing Cross station.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Do I need to move out?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It varies: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
