Why people call us in Coulsdon
Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is when removal comes up.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Garage roof sheets
- Finds during refurbishment
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
In older buildings across Coulsdon, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.

Asbestos removal near Coulsdon
Asbestos removal in Coulsdon covers homes, rental property and workplaces: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Every job is planned to HSE guidance, with the waste taken to a permitted site. We often deal with cement soffits, cement roof sheets and flue pipes, and typical jobs are old cold water tanks and broken sheets in gardens.
In towns and villages like Coulsdon, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Coulsdon questions
Can you work in Coulsdon with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Could my house in Coulsdon contain asbestos?
If your home in Coulsdon was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are normally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
How we price asbestos removal
Quotes vary because of:
- What the material is and its state
- Access to the area
- How much waste there is
- The category of work
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- The parking area
- Labels, if any
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.
Looking after things afterwards
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, so future trades know about it.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Let us know where we can park
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- File the consignment note
- Send photos of the material and the access
Things not to do
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Choosing the right option
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
