Asbestos removal in Fortune Green
Typical removal jobs in Fortune Green
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Cement flues and gutters
- Debris left from a previous job
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Garage roofs and whole garages
Older buildings in Fortune Green, near Church of St Luke or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.

Asbestos removal in Fortune Green
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is generally non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. We often deal with floor tiles, flue pipes and water tanks, and people typically contact us about loft water tanks and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos.
In London neighbourhoods like Fortune Green, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
What happens next
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
What to avoid
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.

DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Common questions in Fortune Green
Do older homes in Fortune Green have 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.
Do you work in Fortune Green despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The removal method depends on the material.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
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. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.

Your options compared
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is usually right. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
