Asbestos removal near Kennington
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. Whether it’s garage roof sheets and outbuildings with cement roofs, we deal with flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and water tanks and more.
Removal jobs around Kennington often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Looking after things afterwards
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
After we have finished:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Book the replacement before removal
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Tell us about any previous survey
Things not to do
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Good to know
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and doesn’t cover:
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Water tanks
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits (cement)
- Panels and boards
- Gutters and downpipes
- Flue pipes
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
- Bitumen roof felt
Why people call us in Kennington
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Asbestos garages
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
For properties on main roads such as the A203 and A3204, we plan parking and loading in advance, as main roads can be restricted.

- What paperwork you get

How much does asbestos removal cost in Kennington?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. We quote each job individually.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.

Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
