Asbestos removal in Coombe
About our asbestos removal in Coombe
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, with a consignment note for your records. We often deal with gutters and downpipes, floor tiles and cement roof sheets, and people normally contact us about debris left from a previous job and finds during refurbishment.
In London neighbourhoods like Coombe, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

Looking after things afterwards
File the waste paperwork safely: it proves legal disposal.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Things not to do
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Prices and what affects them
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- The category of work
- How easy it is to reach
- How much waste there is
- How many samples are needed
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Coombe questions
Could my house in Coombe contain asbestos?
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.
Do you cover Coombe and the area around Norbiton station?
Yes, we cover Coombe and the area towards Norbiton station, about 1 mile south-west.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can normally stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Coombe?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.

What else we do in Coombe
Materials, one by one
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Why people call us in Coombe
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
In older properties, we often see:
- Old waste on site
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Finds during refurbishment
- Garage roofs and whole garages
In a school like Coombe Hill Junior School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
What to look for in a quote
- The documents you will receive
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- VAT, clearly stated

Helpful guides
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Duty holders and landlords in Coombe
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Coombe must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
If you run a business from older premises in Coombe, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
