Questions from Dulwich
Do you work in Dulwich despite London parking restrictions?
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 you cover Dulwich and the area around West Dulwich station?
Yes. West Dulwich station is about 0.7 miles south-west of Dulwich, and we cover both.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Dulwich?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Can I stay at home during removal?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.

Where asbestos turns up
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Artex before plastering
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Loft water tanks
Landlords near West Dulwich station often time removal for when a property is empty.

What affects the price in Dulwich
Prices vary with:
- The size of the job
- What the material is and its state
- How easy it is to reach
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
What to photograph
What to photograph:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Labels, if any
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
What happens next
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
Avoid these
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
