Asbestos removal in Forest Hill
Asbestos removal for Forest Hill properties
Asbestos removal in Forest Hill covers homes, rental property and workplaces: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Every job is planned to HSE guidance, with the waste taken to a permitted site. Common materials are gutters and downpipes, water tanks and floor tiles, and typical jobs are asbestos found during building work and old cold water tanks.
In places like Forest Hill, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Helpful guides
Where asbestos turns up
Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Loft water tanks
- Old flues
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Finds during refurbishment
In older properties in Forest Hill, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first.
Before you book anyone

- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
Good to know
We are upfront about what’s included:
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning

Looking after things afterwards

For businesses and landlords in Forest Hill
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
What it might be made of

That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is typically well bound.
