Asbestos removal in Crofton Park
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Asbestos removal near Crofton Park
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Typical materials include textured coatings, flue pipes and floor tiles, and people generally contact us about asbestos found during building work and old sheds and coal bunkers.
In Crofton Park, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so access and parking are planned carefully. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Questions from Crofton Park
Do you work in Crofton Park despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you cover Crofton Park and the area around Crofton Park station?
Yes, we cover Crofton Park, including the streets around Crofton Park station.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
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.
