Asbestos removal in South Norwood
Removal isn’t always the answer. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll tell you honestly when that’s the case. People often contact us about old waste on site and materials found mid-project, involving water tanks, cement roof sheets and cement soffits.
Removal jobs around South Norwood often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Why people call us in South Norwood
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Greater London may contain it.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- Textured coatings
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Old waste on site
- Cement flues and gutters
In older properties in South Norwood, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first.
What your quote should include
- The documents you’ll receive
- Any exclusions
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
The scope of asbestos removal
What’s in and what’s out:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Doing it yourself?

Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
South Norwood: your questions answered
Do you work near Norwood Junction station?
Yes. Norwood Junction station is close to the centre of South Norwood, and we cover the whole area.
Do you work in South Norwood despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do you cover South Norwood?
We do: South Norwood is within the area we cover in Greater London. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Options to consider in South Norwood
Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Why people choose us
- Work done to the regulations
- Records for your files
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory

A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
