About our asbestos removal in South Croydon
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, and you get the waste paperwork. Typical jobs include asbestos found during building work and cement water tanks in lofts, including water tanks, cement roof sheets and gutters and downpipes.
In towns and villages like South Croydon, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

FAQs for South Croydon
Can you work in South Croydon with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Is asbestos common in South Croydon homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in South Croydon can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It varies: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Asbestos removal in South Croydon: local notes

South Croydon is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we work. Our area stretches from South Croydon to London (10 miles away).
For rentals close to Sanderstead station, removal fits neatly between tenancies. For non-domestic buildings like Purley Oaks Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
We cover removal jobs across the CR2, CR8 and CR0 postcode area. That could mean a property on Edgar Road, Bynes Road and Grange Road. If your property is just outside South Croydon, we also cover Croydon (1 mile north), Coombe (1 mile north-east), Sanderstead (1 mile south-east), Riddlesdown (2 miles south) and Selsdon (2 miles east).

For businesses and landlords in South Croydon
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in South Croydon must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Which option is right?
Should it come out? Sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is typically right. The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

To avoid problems in future:
- Send photos of the material and the access

- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards

What to avoid
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
