Asbestos removal in Russell Hill
If your builder has found suspect material in Russell Hill, stop work in that area and keep people away. We’ll identify it and plan what happens next. Typical materials include cement roof sheets, flue pipes and gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are asbestos found during building work and garage roofs and whole garages.
In London neighbourhoods like Russell Hill, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. We only recommend work that’s needed.

After the job
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it before the removal date.
After we’ve finished:
- Let us know where we can park
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Book the replacement before removal
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Avoid these
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Materials, one by one
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, normally tightly bound.
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Russell Hill
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, although sound material can often stay.
These are some of the things we deal with in Russell Hill:
- Textured coatings
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Debris left from a previous job
Older buildings in Russell Hill, near St. Paul's or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.

Russell Hill questions
Do you cover Russell Hill and the area around Waddon station?
Yes. Waddon station is about 1 mile north of Russell Hill, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Russell Hill have asbestos?
Any home in Russell Hill built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.

Does someone need to be there?
