Asbestos removal for Eltham
Asbestos removal near Eltham
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. From outbuildings with cement roofs and materials found mid-project, we cover flue pipes, water tanks and cement roof sheets.
In London neighbourhoods like Eltham, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Duty holders and landlords in Eltham
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
If you manage or own a block in Eltham, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
How we price asbestos removal
Every quote reflects:
- The survey scope
- Disposal costs
- The type of material and its condition
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Helping us quote
Photo tips:
- Where we could park
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A picture of the whole area
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form; it helps us quote accurately.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Worth knowing before you book:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Eltham properties and asbestos removal
Eltham is about 7 miles west of Dartford, in Greater London. Properties in Eltham range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. Eltham is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we work. We work right across the region, from Eltham to London (8 miles away).
Landlords near Mottingham station often time removal for when a property is empty. Older buildings in Eltham, near Church of Holy Trinity or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.

Questions from Eltham
Is asbestos common in Eltham homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Eltham may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in Eltham despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Often it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It varies: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
What we deal with in Eltham
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Typical jobs in Eltham include:
- Old cold water tanks
- Cement flues and gutters
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Garage roofs and whole garages
At a school such as St Thomas More Catholic Comprehensive School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
