Looking after things afterwards
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
Once we are done:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Things not to do
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
How asbestos removal works in Earlsfield
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. Typical materials include cement roof sheets, flue pipes and cement soffits, and people generally contact us about debris left from a previous job and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes.
Removal jobs around Earlsfield often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so access and parking are planned carefully. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
What we deal with in Earlsfield
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so buildings across Greater London built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
These are some of the things we deal with in Earlsfield:
- Asbestos found during building work
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Garage roof sheets
In older properties in Earlsfield, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.

Materials, one by one
Floor tiles
Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

FAQs for Earlsfield
Do older homes in Earlsfield have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Earlsfield station?
Yes, we cover Earlsfield, including the streets around Earlsfield station.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Earlsfield?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
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.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
