What else we do in Norbury
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Prices and what affects them
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- How much waste there is
- What the material is and its state
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Access to the area
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.

For businesses and landlords in Norbury
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
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.
Afterwards
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
Going forward:
- File the consignment note
- Tell us about parking and access
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Don’ts
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
How we work
Once removal is finished, we clean and check the area. It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions. We plan outdoor jobs in Norbury to finish before dark: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:20pm.

- We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a quote
- On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can
- The area is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with paperwork
Before we arrive

Questions from Norbury
Do older homes in Norbury have asbestos?
Any home in Norbury built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you work in Norbury with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the method depends on what the material is.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally are not licensed.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
