About our asbestos removal in Cubitt Town
You do not always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll tell you honestly when that’s the case. We often deal with water tanks, gutters and downpipes and cement roof sheets, and people usually contact us about Artex before plastering and garage roof sheets.
In London neighbourhoods like Cubitt Town, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Common questions in Cubitt Town
Is asbestos common in Cubitt Town homes?
If your home in Cubitt Town was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in Cubitt Town 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 need a licence to remove asbestos?
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 for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Often it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.

Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space

Photos and a postcode help us quote quickly: just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
What we do and don’t cover
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Making good is normally a separate job

Materials we deal with
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.

As each piece comes out, it’s bagged or wrapped and labelled, then loaded for disposal at a permitted site. When we are done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows. Late-December sunset in Cubitt Town is about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
