Doing it yourself?

With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Materials we deal with

Asbestos cement

Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.

Floor tiles

Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with power tools.

Weighing up your options

Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Why us?

  • Written quotes that say what’s included
  • Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
  • Work done to the regulations
  • Homes, rented property and workplaces

Read how we price jobs and the cost guide.

Why people call us in Shooter's Hill

Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.

If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:

  • Finds during refurbishment
  • Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
  • Old cold water tanks
  • Cement flues and gutters

If you let property near Falconwood station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
  • Whether the job needs notifying
  • VAT, clearly stated
  • How the work will be done, and the controls used

What to check before you book

Duty holders and landlords in Shooter's Hill

Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

FAQs for Shooter's Hill

Do you work near Falconwood station?

Yes, we cover Shooter's Hill and the area towards Falconwood station, about 0.9 miles south-east.

Can you work in Shooter's Hill with London’s parking rules?

Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.

What happens to the waste?

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.

Can I remove asbestos myself?

HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.

Can asbestos go in my bin?

No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.

Does asbestos always have to come out?

Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.

I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?

Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.

  • Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
  • Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
  • Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
  • Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
