Asbestos removal near Bromley
In homes, in Bromley as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. Work on these is typically non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, which still means proper controls. Typical jobs include loft water tanks and broken sheets in gardens, involving flue pipes, textured coatings and cement soffits.
In Bromley, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

What we deal with in Bromley
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Materials found mid-project
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Loft water tanks
- Garage roofs and whole garages
On busy roads like the A222 and A223, loading the waste needs planning, so mention it.

Bromley: your questions answered
Could my house in Bromley 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 Bromley can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you work in Bromley with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
How can I get a price?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
The process
If we find more than expected, or something different, we stop and talk to you, rather than carrying on regardless. We will tell you when we have finished and what you’ll receive afterwards. In winter, the light goes in Bromley by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Send us the postcode and photos
- We check whether it’s licensed, notifiable or non-licensed work
- We book the work and notify if required
- On the day we set up, remove and bag the material
- The waste goes to a permitted site with a consignment note
How to prepare
- Dig out previous surveys
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Mention any parking restrictions
How to get a quote
Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Helpful guides
A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, which is normally well bound.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Weighing up your options
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
Why choose us
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Records for your files
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
Take a look at our prices page and the cost guide.
Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
