Asbestos removal for Greenhill properties
Removal is not always the answer. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will say so. Whether it’s garage roofs and whole garages and loft water tanks, we cover cement soffits, cement roof sheets and water tanks.
In Greenhill, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is usually separate
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

What affects the price in Greenhill
What drives the price:
- How many samples are needed
- Material and condition
- Location, parking and any London charges

A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Greenhill
Do you work in Greenhill despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Is asbestos common in Greenhill homes?
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.
How do I get a quote?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How it works
At the end, the work area is cleaned with suitable methods and checked. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing. Late-December sunset in Greenhill is about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- We test the material if needed
- We plan the job and send a written quote
- On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can
- The area is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with paperwork
Before we arrive
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there

Materials, one by one
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with sanders or grinders.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Where asbestos turns up
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
In older properties, we often see:
- Asbestos garages
- Old flues
- Finds during refurbishment
- Floor tiles before a new floor
In older buildings across Greenhill, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Before booking anyone
- The method and controls
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Any exclusions
- Suitable insurance for the work
