About our asbestos removal in Cambridge Heath
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. From sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles, we deal with flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and floor tiles.
In Cambridge Heath, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so access and parking are planned carefully. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Cambridge Heath
Do you work near Cambridge Heath station?
Yes, we cover Cambridge Heath, including the streets around Cambridge Heath station.
Could my house in Cambridge Heath contain asbestos?
Any home in Cambridge Heath built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
After the job
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it proves legal disposal.
A few practical points:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Tell us about any previous survey
Don’ts
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.

Duty holders and landlords in Cambridge Heath
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Which option is right?
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Greater London may contain it.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Asbestos found during building work
- Loft water tanks
- Debris left from a previous job
In a school like Mowlem Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.

DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
