- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone

Things not to do

Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
About our asbestos removal in Beckenham

FAQs for Beckenham
Do you work near Beckenham Junction station?
Yes. Beckenham Junction station is close to the centre of Beckenham, and we cover the whole area.
Do you work in Beckenham despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
What it costs
The cost depends on:
- The survey scope
- Access to the area
- The quantity or area
- Waste quantity and disposal
Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.

Good to know
Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Where asbestos turns up
Sometimes damage forces the issue, especially if broken material is lying around.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Old flues
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Old waste on site
Older buildings in Beckenham, near Christ Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.
What your quote should include
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Whether the job needs notifying
- Which areas and materials are covered
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
Which option is right?
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
Why people choose us
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Clear written quotes
- Identify first, remove only when needed
Take a look at our prices page or our cost guide.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
