Asbestos removal near Cheam
Asbestos removal in Cheam covers homes, rental property and workplaces: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. We often deal with gutters and downpipes, water tanks and flue pipes, and typical jobs are cement flues and gutters and garage roofs and whole garages.
In London neighbourhoods like Cheam, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- How much waste there is
- Travel and parking
- The type of material and its condition
- The survey scope
Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
What to photograph
To help us quote quickly, send:
- A clear close-up
- The parking area
- A picture of the whole area
- A rough size or measurement
Every job is quoted in writing. Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749 with the details.
For businesses and landlords in Cheam
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
A closer look at the materials
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
Why people call us in Cheam
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
These come up again and again:
- Old cold water tanks
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Debris left from a previous job
- Artex ceilings before renovation
In older properties in Cheam, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Cheam
Do you work in Cheam despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Sometimes: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
Do you cover Cheam?
Yes, we do: our area includes Cheam and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
What happens to the waste?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note as your record.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
How it works
At the end, the work area is cleaned with suitable methods and checked, and we talk you through what was done. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. In winter, the light goes in Cheam by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- If it hasn’t been identified, we sample it first
- We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a quote
- We remove the material with controls to keep fibres down
- We clean up, dispose of the waste legally and send the consignment note
Before we arrive
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Clear the way to the work area

After the job
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, because the plan may need to change.
Keeping things safe:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Share any survey or test results
Things not to do
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
