What we deal with in Carshalton
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, though in good condition it does not always need to go.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Garage roof sheets
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
For properties on main roads such as the B277 and B278, we plan parking and loading in advance, as main roads can be restricted.

Carshalton questions
Do you work near Carshalton station?
Yes, we cover Carshalton, including the streets around Carshalton station.
Could my house in Carshalton contain asbestos?
Any home in Carshalton built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
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.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What happens to the waste?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you receive the consignment note.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
DIY and asbestos
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. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
