About our asbestos removal in Monkhams
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. We often deal with cement roof sheets, cement soffits and textured coatings, and typical jobs are asbestos found during building work and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes.
In Monkhams, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so access and parking are planned carefully. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Monkhams
Do you cover Monkhams and the area around Highams Park station?
Yes. Highams Park station is about 1.2 miles south-west of Monkhams, and we cover both.
Can you work in Monkhams with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor jobs don’t usually affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Step by step
Once removal is finished, we clean and check the area. When we’re done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows. We plan outdoor jobs in Monkhams to finish before dark: in late December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We confirm what the material is and what category of work it falls into
- We quote in writing, including the waste
- We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can
- Everything is cleaned up, and the waste paperwork follows
Getting ready
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let us know where we can park
Getting a price
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Helpful guides
What happens next
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, so future trades know about it.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Let us know where we can park
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Things not to do
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
What affects the price in Monkhams
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The survey scope
- Parking and access charges
- Material and condition
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
What to photograph
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Street parking nearby
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- How we’d reach it
