Asbestos removal near Broadfields Estate

Landlords, managing agents and employers

Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.

Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

About our asbestos removal in Broadfields Estate

Removal is planned, not improvised: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed, before anyone starts. Typical materials include flue pipes, textured coatings and gutters and downpipes, and people normally contact us about cement flues and gutters and old waste on site.

Removal jobs around Broadfields Estate often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

DIY and asbestos

Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.

HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

Afterwards

Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is generally a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.

Looking after any asbestos that remains:

  • Tell us about any previous survey
  • Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
  • Send photos of the material and the access
  • Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property

Things not to do

Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.

Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

FAQs for Broadfields Estate

Can you work in Broadfields Estate with London’s parking rules?

Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.

Could my house in Broadfields Estate contain asbestos?

That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Broadfields Estate can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Do you cover Broadfields Estate?

Yes, we do: our area includes Broadfields Estate and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.

Do I need to move out?

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 someone need to be there?

We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.

I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?

Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.

Will I get the price in writing?

Yes, always.

Can you quote from photos?

Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Broadfields Estate

Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Greater London may contain it.

These come up again and again:

  • Old flues
  • Old floor tiles and black adhesive
  • Cement water tanks in lofts
  • Materials found mid-project

In older properties in Broadfields Estate, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.

Bitumen and felt

They’re removed by hand.

Good to know

Some limits to bear in mind:

  • Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
  • Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
  • Bad weather can affect outdoor removal

If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

What affects the price in Broadfields Estate

Prices vary with:

  • The size of the job

  • Where we could park
  • Cracks or breaks
  • The access route
  • An overall view

Not sure what you need? Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page and describe the problem, and we will recommend the right option.

The process

  2. We identify the material and work out whether the job is licensed, notifiable or non-licensed
  3. We quote in writing, including the waste
  4. We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can
  5. We clean the area and send the consignment note

How to prepare

  • Dig out previous surveys
  • Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
  • Mention any damage before we arrive
