Asbestos removal in Lee
Asbestos removal for Lee properties
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. Whether it’s cement flues and gutters and finds during refurbishment, we deal with water tanks, floor tiles and gutters and downpipes.
In London neighbourhoods like Lee, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

After we’ve finished in Lee
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
Once we are done:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- File the consignment note
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
What to avoid
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- The quantity or area
- The survey scope
- How much waste there is
- Travel and parking
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Photos that help
For a quick quote, include:
- A photo of the whole area
- Approximate dimensions
- Damaged areas
- Where we could park
Share the postcode, a short description and photos: send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749, and we’ll reply with a quote.
What happens
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, and keep the material wet as we work. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we will do before we start. We plan outdoor jobs in Lee to finish before dark: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us what needs removing and send photos
- We test the material if needed
- We plan the job and send a written quote
- We remove the material with controls to keep fibres down
- The area is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with paperwork
Getting ready
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there

Questions from Lee
Do you work in Lee despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you work near Lee station?
Yes, we cover Lee, including the streets around Lee station.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Do you cover Lee?
We do: our area includes Lee and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.

Older buildings in Lee, near Church of the Good Shepherd or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan. For rentals close to Lee station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.

Responsibilities for owners
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with power tools.
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Good to know
The usual limits are:
