Afterwards
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
Some practical advice:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Share any survey or test results
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
Avoid these
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Asbestos removal for Coombe properties
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, and you get the waste paperwork. Typical jobs include garage roof sheets and finds during refurbishment, including textured coatings, cement soffits and floor tiles.
In areas like Coombe, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Coombe questions
Do you cover Coombe and the area around South Croydon station?
Yes. South Croydon station is about 1 mile west of Coombe, and we cover both.
Do you work in Coombe despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Weighing up your options
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
Why us?
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Legal disposal, with paperwork

- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.

A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with power tools.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.

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. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
