How asbestos removal works in East Wickham
If your builder has found suspect material in East Wickham, stop work in that area and keep people away. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. Typical jobs include outbuildings with cement roofs and Artex ceilings before renovation, including cement soffits, cement roof sheets and water tanks.
In London neighbourhoods like East Wickham, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.

East Wickham: your questions answered
Do you work in East Wickham despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Could my house in East Wickham contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that won’t be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
What affects the price in East Wickham
Quotes vary because of:
- How much waste there is
- How easy it is to reach
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The type of material and its condition
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
What to photograph
Helpful photos:
- Where we could park
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- An overall view
- Damaged areas
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
After the job
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
To avoid problems in future:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Share any survey or test results
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
