Asbestos removal in Kennington
Asbestos removal for Kennington properties
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. We often deal with floor tiles, cement soffits and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are textured coatings and old waste on site.
Properties in towns and villages like Kennington with larger plots can have more than one cement-roofed building. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Kennington must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Common questions in Kennington
Do you cover Kennington and the area around Radley station?
Yes. Radley station is about 1.8 miles south of Kennington, and we cover both.
How far is Kennington from London?
Kennington is about 51 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.

Doing it yourself?

Where asbestos turns up
Sometimes damage forces the issue.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Old flues
