Common questions in Dancers Hill
Can you work in Dancers Hill 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.
Do older homes in Dancers Hill have asbestos?
If your home in Dancers Hill was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
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.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
It doesn’t always have to come out: material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Dancers Hill
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Asbestos found during building work
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Asbestos garages
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
At a school such as Dame Alice Owen's School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
What your quote should include
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
What we do and don’t cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
What we deal with
- Water tanks
- Gutters and downpipes
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Bitumen roof felt
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits (cement)
- Panels and boards
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Flue pipes
Which option is right?
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and disposal still has to be done properly. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.

Materials, one by one
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
