Asbestos removal for Dulwich Village
Asbestos removal in Dulwich Village
If your builder has found suspect material in Dulwich Village, stop work in that area and keep people away. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. Typical materials include water tanks, cement roof sheets and textured coatings, and typical jobs are finds during refurbishment and textured coatings.
In towns and villages like Dulwich Village, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

After the job
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Book the replacement before removal
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
Don’ts
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.

What else we do in Dulwich Village
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Options to consider in Dulwich Village
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
What you get
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Accredited laboratory results
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
Read our prices page and published price ranges.
Good to know
Before you book, note that:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Gutters and downpipes
- Flue pipes
- Water tanks
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Bitumen roof felt
- Soffits (cement)
- Panels and boards
- Garage and shed roofs
What it costs
The cost depends on:
- What the material is and its state
- How many samples are needed
- How much there is
- Waste quantity and disposal
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
What to photograph
A few photos can save a site visit:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Labels, if any
- The parking area
- An idea of size

Your questions about asbestos removal in Dulwich Village
Can you work in Dulwich Village with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Do you work near North Dulwich station?
Yes, we cover Dulwich Village, including the streets around North Dulwich station.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
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.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
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.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
