What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Asbestos removal near Bellingham
In homes, in Bellingham as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. Typical jobs include materials found mid-project and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes, involving textured coatings, cement soffits and cement roof sheets.
Removal jobs around Bellingham often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so access and parking are planned carefully. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
What happens next
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
To avoid problems in future:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Share any survey or test results
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Send photos of the material and the access
Things not to do
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.

Bellingham questions
Do older homes in Bellingham have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you work in Bellingham with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs don’t usually affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Bellingham, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Your options compared
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
