Asbestos removal for Slade Green
About our asbestos removal in Slade Green
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. We often deal with gutters and downpipes, textured coatings and cement roof sheets, and people typically contact us about old floor tiles and black adhesive and Artex before plastering.
In London neighbourhoods like Slade Green, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
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. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why choose us
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Covering London and the South East

Do you work in Slade Green despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Do you work near Slade Green station?
Yes. Slade Green station is close to the centre of Slade Green, and we cover the whole area.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It does not always have to come out: 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.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.

Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Prices and what affects them
What changes the cost:
- Access to the area
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How many samples are needed
- The type of material and its condition
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Helping us quote
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- How we’d reach it
- A clear close-up
Photos from a safe distance help: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
What happens next
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is usually a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
To avoid problems in future:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Book the replacement before removal
- Share any survey or test results
- File the consignment note
Don’ts
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
