Asbestos removal across Greater London

If your builder has found suspect material in Greater London, stop work in that area and keep people away. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. We often deal with gutters and downpipes, textured coatings and floor tiles, and people typically contact us about old sheds and coal bunkers and old waste on site.

Materials are released carefully and removed whole where possible, without breaking, dropping or power tools.

  2. We test it if needed and plan the job
  3. We send a quote covering the work and the waste
  4. We remove it with controls to keep fibres down
  5. We clean up and send you the waste paperwork

Asbestos removal across Greater London

From London, City of Westminster and Marylebone to small villages, Greater London has every kind of removal job. In towns, parking matters; in villages, access. Parts of Greater London are within a few miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, where barns and outbuildings with cement sheeting are a common sight.

London: If you are on or near the A2 and A10, tell us about parking and loading, as main roads can be restricted. Older buildings in London, near St George the Martyr or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal. Late-December sunset in London is about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

After we have finished in Greater London

File the waste paperwork safely: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.

  • Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
  • File the consignment note
  • Tell us about parking and access
  • Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property

Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.

Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.

Choosing the right option

Licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed? The material and the job decide. Our guide explains the difference, with links to HSE’s pages.

Before booking anyone

  • That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
  • What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
  • What is not included
  • How fibres will be kept down

What’s included, and what isn’t

What’s in and what’s out:

  • Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
  • Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
  • Making good is normally a separate job

For landlords, agents and businesses

For managing agents and freeholders in Greater London, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.

If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Greater London, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.

What it costs

Prices vary with:

  • How many samples are needed
  • The category of work
  • What the material is and its state
  • Parking and access charges

Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.

Sending photos

A few photos can save a site visit:

  • A close-up from a safe distance
  • Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
  • The parking area
  • The access route

Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Greater London

Do you work in Greater London?

Yes, Greater London is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.

Can you quote from photos?

Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.

What does licensed work mean?

Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.

Can you advise before I buy a property?

Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.

What paperwork will I get?

That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.

I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?

Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.

Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?

If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
