FAQs for East Peckham
How far is East Peckham from London?
East Peckham is about 29 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos common in East Peckham homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs do not generally affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It varies: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.

Where asbestos turns up
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, though in good condition it does not always need to go.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Loft water tanks
- Artex before plastering
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Garage roof sheets
In older properties in East Peckham, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.

What happens next
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Tell us about parking and access
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Avoid these
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Which option is right?
Be wary of a price that seems too low: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Why us?
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
