Sanderstead: your questions answered
Do you work near Riddlesdown station?
Yes, we cover Sanderstead and the area towards Riddlesdown station, about 0.8 miles west.
Do you work in Sanderstead despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
It doesn’t always have to come out: material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you cover Sanderstead?
Yes, Sanderstead is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
The scope of asbestos removal
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned

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 can’t 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.
Where asbestos turns up
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Old cold water tanks
- Textured coatings
- Debris left from a previous job
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
For non-domestic buildings like Gresham Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- The method and controls
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- If the price includes VAT
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
