Common reasons for removal jobs in North Greenwich
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
In older properties, we often see:
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Finds during refurbishment
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Old flues
Older buildings in North Greenwich, near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.
What your quote should include

Good to know
To be clear about the scope:

FAQs for North Greenwich
Do you work near Greenwich station?
Yes. Greenwich station is about 0.8 miles south of North Greenwich, and we cover both.
Could my house in North Greenwich contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The right method depends on what the material is.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
What does removal cost?
Every job is priced individually: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
