Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, with a consignment note for your records. Typical jobs include flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and garage roofs and whole garages, involving textured coatings, water tanks and flue pipes.
In places like South Bank, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Options to consider in South Bank
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.

Questions from South Bank
Could my house in South Bank contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in South Bank can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in South Bank despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
How much does asbestos removal cost in South Bank?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. We quote each job individually.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
