Asbestos removal for Millwall
Asbestos removal for Millwall properties
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, which still means proper controls. Whether it’s old flues and old cold water tanks, we cover cement roof sheets, water tanks and floor tiles.
In areas like Millwall, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Why people call us in Millwall
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so buildings across Greater London built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Cement flues and gutters
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
Landlords near Deptford station often time removal for when a property is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- How fibres will be kept down
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Any exclusions
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory

- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal

Places near Millwall
Materials, one by one
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Responsibilities for owners
If you manage or own a block in Millwall, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

After we have finished in Millwall
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell us about parking and access
- File the consignment note
What to avoid
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

FAQs for Millwall
Do older homes in Millwall have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Millwall may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in Millwall despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Millwall?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. We quote each job individually.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
It doesn’t always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
