How asbestos removal works in Colliers Wood
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Typical jobs include materials found mid-project and old sheds and coal bunkers, including gutters and downpipes, floor tiles and water tanks.
In Colliers Wood, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Colliers Wood questions
Do you work in Colliers Wood despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Is asbestos common in Colliers Wood homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
How can I get a price?
