Asbestos removal in Oval
Asbestos removal in Oval covers homes, rental property and workplaces: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. Whether it’s vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and textured coatings, we deal with gutters and downpipes, flue pipes and cement roof sheets and more.
In Oval, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so access and parking are planned carefully. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
How we price asbestos removal
The cost depends on:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- How much there is
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

FAQs for Oval
Do older homes in Oval have asbestos?
Any home in Oval built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you work in Oval with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs don’t usually affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
After the job
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Share any survey or test results
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell us about parking and access
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Avoid these
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Duty holders and landlords in Oval
If you run a business from older premises in Oval, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Oval must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Options to consider in Oval
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
