Asbestos removal for North Sheen
Choosing the right option
Remove, or leave and manage? Sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Why us?
- Clear written quotes
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Identify first, remove only when needed

How asbestos removal works in North Sheen
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. We often deal with floor tiles, water tanks and cement roof sheets, and people generally contact us about cement flues and gutters and debris left from a previous job.
In areas like North Sheen, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Common reasons for removal jobs in North Sheen
Materials deteriorate with age: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is often when people decide to remove them.
These come up again and again:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Old flues
- Loft water tanks
Older buildings in North Sheen, near The Barn Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Questions to ask before booking
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- How fibres will be kept down
- The documents you will receive
Afterwards
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, as the method may need to change.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Book the replacement before removal
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Avoid these
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.

Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Good to know
Worth knowing before booking:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is usually separate
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Your questions about asbestos removal in North Sheen
Do older homes in North Sheen have asbestos?
Any home in North Sheen built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Kew Gardens station?
Yes, we cover North Sheen, including the streets around Kew Gardens station.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
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.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are generally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
