Asbestos removal for Mitcham properties
Higher-risk materials such as pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence. We will tell you if your job in Mitcham falls into that category. We often deal with flue pipes, cement roof sheets and floor tiles, and typical jobs are vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and finds during refurbishment.
Removal jobs around Mitcham often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so access and parking are planned carefully. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Which option is right?
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. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
Why choose us
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond

For businesses and landlords in Mitcham
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Mitcham, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Why people call us in Mitcham
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, though in good condition it does not always need to go.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Artex before plastering

Helpful guides
Questions from Mitcham
Is asbestos common in Mitcham homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Mitcham can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Mitcham Eastfields station?
Yes. Mitcham Eastfields station is about 0.5 miles north of Mitcham, and we cover both.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Looking after things afterwards
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, because the plan may need to change.
Keeping things safe:
- Tell us about parking and access
- File the consignment note
- Book the replacement before removal
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
What to avoid
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
