Asbestos removal near Furzedown
Asbestos removal for Furzedown properties
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is typically non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, which still means proper controls. Common materials are textured coatings, flue pipes and water tanks, and people normally contact us about broken sheets in gardens and cement flues and gutters.
In places like Furzedown, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

How we price asbestos removal
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- How much there is
- Travel and parking
- The type of material and its condition
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.

Questions from Furzedown
Can you work in Furzedown with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Do you work near Tooting station?
Yes. Tooting station is about 0.6 miles south-west of Furzedown, and we cover both.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs do not usually affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
Why people call us in Furzedown

In older properties in Furzedown, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.
