How asbestos removal works in Lessness Heath
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, and you get the waste paperwork. People often contact us about flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and debris left from a previous job, including cement soffits, flue pipes and cement roof sheets.

Where asbestos turns up
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Textured coatings
- Cement flues and gutters
- Materials found mid-project
At a school such as Lessness Heath Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
Before you book anyone

Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Lessness Heath: your questions answered
Do you cover Lessness Heath and the area around Belvedere station?
Yes, we cover Lessness Heath and the area towards Belvedere station, about 0.5 miles north.
Do you work in Lessness Heath despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The right method depends on what the material is.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What does removal cost?
There’s no fixed price: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Options to consider in Lessness Heath
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.

How we price asbestos removal
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Access to the area
- How much there is

Photos that help
Photos often save us a visit:
- Cracks or breaks
- Approximate dimensions
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
Include any existing survey or test when you use our quote form or call 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.

- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning

- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
