How asbestos removal works in Osidge
Licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence. We’ll explain what applies to your job in Osidge. Whether it’s old cold water tanks and garage roofs and whole garages, we cover gutters and downpipes, water tanks and flue pipes and more.
In London neighbourhoods like Osidge, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Choosing the right option
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is typically right. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
How we work in Osidge

Common questions in Osidge
Could my house in Osidge 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.
Do you work near Oakleigh Park station?
Yes, we cover Osidge and the area towards Oakleigh Park station, about 1 mile west.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Osidge?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.

- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Don’ts
