Asbestos help in South Wimbledon
Asbestos removal in South Wimbledon
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, with a consignment note for your records. Whether it’s old floor tiles and black adhesive and broken sheets in gardens, we cover gutters and downpipes, water tanks and cement roof sheets and more.
In places like South Wimbledon, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

FAQs for South Wimbledon
Do you work near Wimbledon station?
Yes. Wimbledon station is close to the centre of South Wimbledon, and we cover the whole area.
Is asbestos common in South Wimbledon homes?
If your home in South Wimbledon was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Greater London may contain it.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Loft water tanks
- Textured coatings
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
Landlords near Wimbledon station often time removal for when a property is empty.
Comparing quotes
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- What paperwork you get
Weighing up your options
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.
What you get
- Reports and results you can share
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Domestic and commercial work

What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with power tools.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
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.

What happens next
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is generally a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Tell us about parking and access
- Book the replacement before removal
- Share any survey or test results
Don’ts
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
