Asbestos removal for Selhurst
Asbestos removal in Selhurst
Every removal job in Selhurst is planned first: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. Typical jobs include flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos, including flue pipes, cement soffits and water tanks.
In Selhurst, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Afterwards
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it before the removal date.
After we’ve finished:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
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.
Materials, one by one
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
What it costs
Prices vary with:
- Travel and parking
- The category of work
- Disposal costs
- Access to the area
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Sending photos
To help us quote quickly, send:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- An overall view
- Cracks or breaks
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch

What else we do in Selhurst
Common reasons for removal jobs in Selhurst
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Debris left from a previous job
For properties on main roads such as the A213, we plan parking and loading in advance, as main roads can be restricted.
Questions to ask before you book
- What is not included
- What paperwork you get
- What category of work it is
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
What happens
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, then keep the material damp throughout. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next. Late-December sunset in Selhurst is about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Tell us what needs removing and send photos
- We test the material if needed
- We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a quote
- We remove the material with controls to keep fibres down
- We clean up, dispose of the waste legally and send the consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Dig out previous surveys

Common questions in Selhurst
Do you work in Selhurst 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.
Is asbestos common in Selhurst homes?
If your home in Selhurst was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do you cover Selhurst?
Yes, we do: our area includes Selhurst and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
