Asbestos help in Botany Bay

After we’ve finished in Botany Bay

If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.

Some practical advice:

  • File the consignment note
  • Keep children and pets away on the day
  • Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
  • Let us know where we can park

Don’ts

Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.

Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.

How asbestos removal works in Botany Bay

Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. People often contact us about textured coatings and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles, including cement soffits, water tanks and cement roof sheets.

In Botany Bay, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so access and parking are planned carefully. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Common questions in Botany Bay

Do you work near Crews Hill station?

Yes. Crews Hill station is about 1 mile north-east of Botany Bay, and we cover both.

Can you work in Botany Bay with London’s parking rules?

Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.

How do I get a quote?

Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.

I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?

Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.

Can you advise before I buy a property?

Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.

Do you give written quotes?

Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.

Should all asbestos be removed?

No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.

Why people call us in Botany Bay

Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.

If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:

  • Asbestos found during building work
  • Old floor tiles and black adhesive
  • Textured coatings
  • Asbestos garages

At a school such as St. John's Senior School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.

What your quote should include

  • Whether VAT is included
  • How the work will be done, and the controls used
  • What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
  • Waste disposal and the consignment note

What to check before booking

Step by step

  1. Tell us what needs removing and send photos
  2. We test it if needed and plan the job
  3. We send a quote covering the work and the waste
  4. The material is removed safely
  5. We clean up and send you the waste paperwork

Before we arrive

What it costs

The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:

  • The number of samples or the size of the building
  • Travel and parking
  • The quantity or area
  • Material and condition

A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

What to photograph

Photo tips:

  • Damaged areas
  • Labels, if any
  • An overall view
  • The access route

Options to consider in Botany Bay

HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.

Why people choose us

  • Domestic and commercial work
  • Legal disposal, with paperwork
  • London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
  • Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone

Read how we price jobs or the cost guide.

Doing it yourself?

Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Materials we deal with

Insulating board and lagging

Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.

Water tanks and flues

A Gas Safe engineer disconnects any gas appliance first.

Landlords, managing agents and employers

Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.

If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Botany Bay, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.

  • Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
  • Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
  • Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
  • Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
