Asbestos removal in Mortlake
Afterwards
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, so future trades know about it.
A few practical points:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
What to avoid
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
About our asbestos removal in Mortlake
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. From finds during refurbishment and old waste on site, we deal with textured coatings, flue pipes and gutters and downpipes and more.
Removal jobs around Mortlake often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Your options compared
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

FAQs for Mortlake
Do older homes in Mortlake have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Mortlake station?
Yes, we cover Mortlake, including the streets around Mortlake station.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note as your record.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
