Asbestos removal for Bromley
Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Asbestos removal for Bromley properties
We remove asbestos from homes, rented property and commercial buildings across Bromley: garage roofs, flues, water tanks, Artex and floor tiles among them. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. From flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and floor tiles before a new floor, we deal with cement roof sheets, flue pipes and cement soffits.
In Bromley, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so access and parking are planned carefully. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Bromley: your questions answered
Do you work in Bromley despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do you work near West Ham station?
Yes, we cover Bromley and the area towards West Ham station, about 1 mile east.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can generally stay put. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Weighing up your options
Licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed? The material and the job decide. Our guide explains the difference, with links to HSE’s pages. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Keeping things safe:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
What to avoid
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
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.
