About our asbestos removal in Leamouth
Removal isn’t always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll say so. Typical materials include gutters and downpipes, textured coatings and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are old cold water tanks and Artex before plastering.
In Leamouth, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Leamouth questions
Is asbestos common in Leamouth homes?
Any home in Leamouth built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you work in Leamouth with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If your business premises in Leamouth were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
For managing agents and freeholders in Leamouth, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.

Afterwards
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, because the plan may need to change.
A few practical points:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Book the replacement before removal
- File the consignment note
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
