Asbestos removal near Plumstead
Asbestos removal in Plumstead
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, and you get the waste paperwork. Typical jobs include asbestos found during building work and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos, including textured coatings, flue pipes and gutters and downpipes.
In areas like Plumstead, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Don’ts
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

For businesses and landlords in Plumstead

The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Plumstead
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
Typical jobs in Plumstead include:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Asbestos found during building work
In older buildings across Plumstead, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.

Plumstead: your questions answered
Do you work in Plumstead despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Do you cover Plumstead and the area around Plumstead station?
Yes. Plumstead station is close to the centre of Plumstead, and we cover the whole area.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
How do I get a quote?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.

Weighing up your options
Should it come out? 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.
