Asbestos help in Old Malden
Asbestos removal for Old Malden properties
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Typical jobs include vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and Artex before plastering, involving gutters and downpipes, cement soffits and cement roof sheets.
Properties in areas like Old Malden with larger plots can have more than one cement-roofed building, which can often be dealt with together. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Common questions in Old Malden
Could my house in Old Malden contain asbestos?
Any home in Old Malden built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Old Malden and the area around Tolworth station?
Yes, we cover Old Malden and the area towards Tolworth station, about 0.5 miles west.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It doesn’t always have to come out: material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.

For landlords, agents and businesses

Doing it yourself?
