Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
After the job
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
Keeping things safe:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Book the replacement before removal
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.

Materials we deal with
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is typically well bound.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Brixton questions
Could my house in Brixton contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Brixton may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Brixton station?
Yes, we cover Brixton, including the streets around Brixton station.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Brixton?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
What’s included, and what is not
Worth knowing before booking:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work

What we deal with in Brixton
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
These come up again and again:
- Garage roof sheets
- Textured coatings
- Old cold water tanks
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
For non-domestic buildings like Sudbourne Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
