About our asbestos removal in Avery Hill
Licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, and has to be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. We will tell you if your job in Avery Hill falls into that category. From garage roofs and whole garages and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles, we deal with gutters and downpipes, floor tiles and flue pipes and more.
In London neighbourhoods like Avery Hill, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Helpful guides
Duty holders and landlords in Avery Hill
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Avery Hill must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Avery Hill: your questions answered
Do you cover Avery Hill and the area around Falconwood station?
Yes, we cover Avery Hill and the area towards Falconwood station, about 0.6 miles north.
Do you work in Avery Hill despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs do not typically affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings generally are not licensed.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Your options compared
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Why people choose us
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations

What affects the price in Avery Hill
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos removal:
- How many samples are needed
- The type of material and its condition
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Parking and access charges
Every quote says whether VAT is included.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Labels, if any
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- An overall view
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
After we’ve finished in Avery Hill
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Book the replacement before removal
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Things not to do
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.

What we deal with in Avery Hill
Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Finds during refurbishment
- Broken sheets in gardens
In older buildings across Avery Hill, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan.
