Asbestos removal in Hurlingham
Asbestos removal in Hurlingham covers homes, rental property and workplaces: garage roofs, flues, water tanks, Artex and floor tiles among them. Every job is planned to HSE guidance, with the waste taken to a permitted site. Whether it’s outbuildings with cement roofs and textured coatings, we deal with cement soffits, gutters and downpipes and water tanks and more.
In towns and villages like Hurlingham, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
Going forward:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
What to avoid
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.

Common questions in Hurlingham
Do you work near Imperial Wharf station?
Yes, we cover Hurlingham and the area towards Imperial Wharf station, about 0.8 miles east.
Do older homes in Hurlingham have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Hurlingham?
We do: our area includes Hurlingham and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Hurlingham?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
For managing agents and freeholders in Hurlingham, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Materials, one by one
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.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, typically tightly bound.
