Asbestos removal for Cannon Hill properties
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Common materials are gutters and downpipes, cement roof sheets and flue pipes, and typical jobs are textured coatings and cement flues and gutters.
In places like Cannon Hill, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Cannon Hill questions
Do you work in Cannon Hill despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you work near South Merton station?
Yes. South Merton station is about 0.5 miles north-east of Cannon Hill, and we cover both.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
What does removal cost?
There’s no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Cannon Hill
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, although sound material can often stay.
In older properties, we often see:
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Artex before plastering
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Old flues
At a school such as Hillcross Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.

Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
