Asbestos removal in Hampton Wick
Removal is planned, not improvised: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed. Common materials are floor tiles, flue pipes and textured coatings, and people usually contact us about asbestos found during building work and garage roofs and whole garages.
Removal jobs around Hampton Wick often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

After we have finished in Hampton Wick
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, so future trades know about it.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Photos of the material and the route in help
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
For landlords, agents and businesses
For managing agents and freeholders in Hampton Wick, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
If your business premises in Hampton Wick were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
FAQs for Hampton Wick
Do you cover Hampton Wick and the area around Hampton Wick station?
Yes, we cover Hampton Wick, including the streets around Hampton Wick station.
Do older homes in Hampton Wick have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Hampton Wick?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
What we do and do not cover
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and does not cover:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified

Choosing the right option

DIY and asbestos
