Asbestos removal for Streatham
About our asbestos removal in Streatham
You do not always have to remove asbestos. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will tell you honestly when that’s the case. From sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and Artex before plastering, we cover floor tiles, cement roof sheets and cement soffits.
In areas like Streatham, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Limits to be aware of
To be clear about the scope:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- The type of material and its condition
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How much waste there is
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
What to photograph
The most useful photos are:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- How we’d reach it
- Approximate dimensions
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
Photos and a postcode help us quote quickly: just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Your questions about asbestos removal in Streatham
Can you work in Streatham with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do older homes in Streatham have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Streatham can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Do you cover Streatham?
Yes. We cover Streatham and the surrounding area as part of Greater London. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally aren’t licensed.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Streatham?
Every job is priced individually: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Materials we deal with
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
