Asbestos removal in Copse Hill
Found asbestos during building work in Copse Hill? Stop work in that area and keep people away. We’ll identify it and plan what happens next. Typical materials include flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and cement soffits, and people normally contact us about materials found mid-project and floor tiles before a new floor.
In London neighbourhoods like Copse Hill, 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 do not need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Common questions in Copse Hill
Do you work in Copse Hill 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.
Is asbestos common in Copse Hill homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Copse Hill can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Sometimes: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.

What it costs
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos removal:
- How many samples are needed
- The size of the job
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Material and condition
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Approximate dimensions
- The access route
- Where we could park
- Visible markings
You will get a written quote. Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Weighing up your options
Be wary of a price that seems too low: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
