Asbestos removal in Bankside
Asbestos removal near Bankside
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Typical materials include floor tiles, water tanks and flue pipes, and typical jobs are floor tiles before a new floor and broken sheets in gardens.
Removal jobs around Bankside often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Bankside questions
Do older homes in Bankside have asbestos?
Any home in Bankside built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you work in Bankside with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do you work in Bankside?
Yes, we do: our area includes Bankside and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
