Asbestos removal in Putney
How asbestos removal works in Putney
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, which still means proper controls. People often contact us about broken sheets in gardens and outbuildings with cement roofs, involving cement roof sheets, gutters and downpipes and cement soffits.
Removal jobs around Putney often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Putney: your questions answered
Can you work in Putney with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do you cover Putney and the area around Putney station?
Yes, we cover Putney, including the streets around Putney station.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Putney?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. We quote each job individually.
What happens to the waste?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs don’t generally affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Options to consider in Putney
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
