How asbestos removal works in New Charlton
Found asbestos during building work in New Charlton? Stop work in that area and keep people away. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. From asbestos garages and cement water tanks in lofts, we deal with flue pipes, cement soffits and water tanks and more.
In towns and villages like New Charlton, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Options to consider in New Charlton
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

A closer look at the materials
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is normally well bound.
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.

Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, then loaded for disposal at a permitted site. Parking close by makes the day easier.

Questions from New Charlton
Can you work in New Charlton with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Is asbestos common in New Charlton homes?
If your home in New Charlton was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The removal method depends on the material.
Limits to be aware of
Before you book, note that:
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
