Asbestos removal in Penge
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. Whether it’s loft water tanks and broken sheets in gardens, we deal with water tanks, floor tiles and gutters and downpipes.
Removal jobs around Penge often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
After the job
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
Going forward:
- File the consignment note
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Tell us about any previous survey
Don’ts
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Penge: your questions answered
Do you work in Penge despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do you cover Penge and the area around Penge West station?
Yes. Penge West station is close to the centre of Penge, and we cover the whole area.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
