About our asbestos removal in Hither Green
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, with a consignment note for your records. Whether it’s finds during refurbishment and old flues, we deal with gutters and downpipes, cement soffits and floor tiles and more.
In London neighbourhoods like Hither Green, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Materials, one by one
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.

Common questions in Hither Green
Is asbestos common in Hither Green homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Hither Green can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you work in Hither Green with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
How do I get a quote?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
After the job
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is generally a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
After we’ve finished:
- Let us know where we can park
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Photos of the material and the route in help
Avoid these
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
