Asbestos removal in Lambeth
About our asbestos removal in Lambeth
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. People often contact us about outbuildings with cement roofs and broken sheets in gardens, involving cement roof sheets, gutters and downpipes and water tanks.
In towns and villages like Lambeth, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Lambeth properties and asbestos removal
Lambeth is about 1 mile south-west of London, in Greater London. Properties in Lambeth range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. Lambeth is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover.
In older buildings across Lambeth, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first. At a school such as Vauxhall Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
Anywhere in SE11, SW1P and SW8, we can help with asbestos removal, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include Gibson Road, Langley Lane and Randall Road, and asbestos removal is available on all of them. Main roads around Lambeth include the A3203 and A3204; tell us about parking if you’re on a main road. For properties just outside Lambeth, we cover Vauxhall (1 mile north), Kennington (1 mile south), Oval (1 mile south), Newington Butts (1 mile east) and St George's Fields (1 mile north-east). Larger places within reach include Kensington (4 miles west), Shoreditch (3 miles north-east), Walthamstow (8 miles north-east), Hoxton (3 miles north-east), Whitechapel (3 miles north-east) and Hampstead (5 miles north-west).

Lambeth: your questions answered
Could my house in Lambeth contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in Lambeth despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases 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.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Lambeth?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can typically stay put. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
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.
How it works
