How asbestos removal works in Streatham Hill
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. Typical jobs include old cold water tanks and cement flues and gutters, including floor tiles, water tanks and cement roof sheets.
In Streatham Hill, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

How it works
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, and keep the material wet as we work. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we’ll do before we start. Late-December sunset in Streatham Hill is about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Get in touch with the details of the job
- We check whether it’s licensed, notifiable or non-licensed work
- We book the work and notify if required
- On the day we set up, remove and bag the material
- We dispose of the waste legally and send the paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
How to get a quote
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Streatham Hill
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Old cold water tanks
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Finds during refurbishment
- Garage roofs and whole garages
In a school like Christ Church, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
What to look for in a quote
- Any exclusions
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
Good to know
The usual limits are:
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Making good is normally a separate job

Common questions in Streatham Hill
Could my house in Streatham Hill contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Streatham Hill may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Streatham Hill and the area around Streatham Hill station?
Yes. Streatham Hill station is close to the centre of Streatham Hill, and we cover the whole area.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
Materials, one by one
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, normally tightly bound.
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with power tools.
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
