Asbestos removal for Falconwood properties
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, with a consignment note for your records. From loft water tanks and garage roof sheets, we cover cement soffits, gutters and downpipes and cement roof sheets and more.
In towns and villages like Falconwood, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Your options compared
Should it come out? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.

Duty holders and landlords in Falconwood
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Why people call us in Falconwood
Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Garage roof sheets
For non-domestic buildings like Bishop Ridley Church of England VA Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

Falconwood questions
Do older homes in Falconwood have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Falconwood may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Welling station?
Yes, we cover Falconwood and the area towards Welling station, about 0.5 miles north-east.
Do you work in Falconwood?
Yes, we do: Falconwood is within the area we cover in Greater London. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.

For outdoor jobs, you can typically stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
