About our asbestos removal in Roxeth
Removal is not always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll say so. From broken sheets in gardens and outbuildings with cement roofs, we deal with flue pipes, cement roof sheets and water tanks and more.
Removal jobs around Roxeth often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Roxeth
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across Greater London may contain it.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Old waste on site
- Materials found mid-project
- Loft water tanks
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
Older buildings in Roxeth, near Christ Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Any exclusions
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
Duty holders and landlords in Roxeth
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
What it costs
Prices vary with:
- The size of the job
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Parking and access charges
- How much waste there is
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.
What to photograph
Photo tips:
- Cracks or breaks
- Street parking nearby
- Labels, if any
- A wide shot showing where the material is

Roxeth questions
Can you work in Roxeth with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Could my house in Roxeth contain asbestos?
Any home in Roxeth built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Do you cover Roxeth?
We do: Roxeth is within the area we cover in Greater London. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.

The scope of asbestos removal
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
