Asbestos removal in Anerley
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, because the method depends on the material. From old waste on site and old flues, we deal with gutters and downpipes, textured coatings and water tanks.
In Anerley, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

What it might be made of
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
Why people call us in Anerley
Old materials break down over time: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is often when people decide to remove them.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Garage roof sheets
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
If you let property near Anerley station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.

Common questions in Anerley
Do older homes in Anerley have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you work in Anerley with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
What happens to the waste?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note as your record.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do you cover Anerley?
Yes, we do: our area includes Anerley and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
Keeping things safe:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Share any survey or test results
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell us about parking and access
Don’ts
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.

If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
