Asbestos removal in Southfields
How asbestos removal works in Southfields
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. We often deal with cement soffits, cement roof sheets and floor tiles, and people usually contact us about asbestos garages and floor tiles before a new floor.
Removal jobs around Southfields often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so access and parking are planned carefully. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

Common questions in Southfields
Could my house in Southfields contain asbestos?
If your home in Southfields was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in Southfields despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Options to consider in Southfields
Remove, or leave and manage? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
What you get
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Accredited laboratory results

What happens next
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, for anyone working there later.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Let us know where we can park
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
Don’ts
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Good to know
So you know what to expect:
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
