Asbestos removal near Selsdon
Every removal job in Selsdon is planned first: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. We often deal with cement soffits, flue pipes and textured coatings, and typical jobs are Artex before plastering and garage roof sheets.
In a smaller place like Selsdon, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, reached through gardens and drives. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Which option is right?
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

What else we do in Selsdon
Afterwards
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, because the plan may need to change.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Let us know where we can park
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Send photos of the material and the access
Avoid these
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.

Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- What the material is and its state
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Parking and access charges
- The size of the job
A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- Where we could park
- A close-up from a safe distance
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Labels, if any
Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Selsdon questions
Do you work near Sanderstead station?
Yes. Sanderstead station is about 1.7 miles west of Selsdon, and we cover both.
How far is Selsdon from London?
Selsdon is about 11 miles from central London, well within our area.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
The scope of asbestos removal
What’s in and what’s out:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
