Lower Morden questions
Could my house in Lower Morden contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Lower Morden can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near St Helier station?
Yes. St Helier station is about 0.9 miles east of Lower Morden, and we cover both.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
About our asbestos removal in Lower Morden
We remove asbestos from homes, rented property and commercial buildings across Lower Morden: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Every job is planned to HSE guidance, with the waste taken to a permitted site. Typical materials include cement roof sheets, flue pipes and floor tiles, and people normally contact us about garage roofs and whole garages and old cold water tanks.
In London neighbourhoods like Lower Morden, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Choosing the right option
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and disposal still has to be done properly. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Duty holders and landlords in Lower Morden
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
After the job
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Let us know where we can park
- Tell us about any previous survey
Things not to do
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Materials we deal with
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
