Asbestos removal for Brockley
Where asbestos turns up
Damage from DIY, storms or accidents can make removal necessary, especially if broken material is lying around.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Artex before plastering
- Materials found mid-project
- Debris left from a previous job
For non-domestic buildings like Beecroft Garden Primary, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
What your quote should include
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- What category of work it is
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note

Brockley: your questions answered
Do you work in Brockley despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Do older homes in Brockley have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.

Duty holders and landlords in Brockley
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If your business premises in Brockley were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
