About our asbestos removal in Honor Oak
Asbestos removal in Honor Oak covers homes, rental property and workplaces: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. Whether it’s old sheds and coal bunkers and old floor tiles and black adhesive, we deal with cement soffits, flue pipes and gutters and downpipes and more.
In London neighbourhoods like Honor Oak, 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: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Honor Oak
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
These come up again and again:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Loft water tanks
Older buildings in Honor Oak, near Church of St Augustine or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Looking after things afterwards
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, because the plan may need to change.
Going forward:
- File the consignment note
- Let us know where we can park
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Tell us about any previous survey
Don’ts
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
FAQs for Honor Oak
Could my house in Honor Oak contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Honor Oak can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Honor Oak and the area around Honor Oak Park station?
Yes, we cover Honor Oak, including the streets around Honor Oak Park station.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do you work in Honor Oak?
Yes, Honor Oak is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The removal method depends on the material.
What it costs
What changes the cost:
- How much there is
- Disposal costs
- What the material is and its state
- How many samples are needed
A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
