Asbestos help in South Lambeth
South Lambeth questions
Do you work near Vauxhall station?
Yes. Vauxhall station is about 0.6 miles north of South Lambeth, and we cover both.
Can you work in South Lambeth with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor jobs do not generally affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
How asbestos removal works in South Lambeth
You don’t always have to remove asbestos. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll tell you honestly when that’s the case. From materials found mid-project and garage roof sheets, we cover gutters and downpipes, cement roof sheets and floor tiles and more.
Removal jobs around South Lambeth often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Where asbestos turns up
Sometimes damage forces the issue, especially if broken material is lying around.
Typical jobs in South Lambeth include:
- Materials found mid-project
- Garage roof sheets
- Old waste on site
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
On busy roads like the A203, loading the waste needs planning, so mention it, as main roads can be restricted.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
Choosing the right option
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.

After we have finished in South Lambeth
File the waste paperwork safely: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
After we’ve finished:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- File the consignment note
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Book the replacement before removal
Avoid these
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
What it costs
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos removal:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The type of material and its condition
- Waste quantity and disposal
Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- A rough size or measurement
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Damaged areas
- A close-up from a safe distance
You’ll get a written quote. Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 with the details.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, 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.
