Asbestos removal for Blackheath properties
Removal isn’t always the answer. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll say so. Typical jobs include loft water tanks and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes, including cement roof sheets, flue pipes and water tanks.
Removal jobs around Blackheath often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

After the job
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Book the replacement before removal
- Send photos of the material and the access
Don’ts
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Your options compared

FAQs for Blackheath
Is asbestos common in Blackheath homes?
If your home in Blackheath was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in Blackheath despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Where does the asbestos go?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note as your record.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Responsibilities for owners
For managing agents and freeholders in Blackheath, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
