About our asbestos removal in Stockwell
If your builder has found suspect material in Stockwell, stop work in that area and keep people away. We’ll identify it and plan what happens next. Typical jobs include old floor tiles and black adhesive and asbestos garages, involving cement roof sheets, gutters and downpipes and water tanks.
In Stockwell, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

How we price asbestos removal
What changes the cost:
- The survey scope
- The category of work
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Material and condition
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
What to photograph
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- An overall view
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- An idea of size
Not sure what you need? Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749 and describe the problem, and we’ll advise.
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
For managing agents and freeholders in Stockwell, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.

What it might be made of
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.
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
Weighing up your options
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, rather than halting work when it’s found. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
Why choose us
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone

Questions from Stockwell
Do you work near Brixton station?
Yes. Brixton station is about 0.5 miles south-east of Stockwell, and we cover both.
Do you work in Stockwell despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can generally stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
What happens to the waste?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
