Asbestos removal near Streatham Park
Asbestos removal near Streatham Park
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is generally non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. Whether it’s vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and garage roof sheets, we cover floor tiles, cement soffits and textured coatings.
In Streatham Park, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

What it might be made of
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
After we have finished in Streatham Park
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Tell us about any previous survey
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Step by step
Materials are released carefully and removed whole where possible, without breaking, dropping or power tools. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Streatham Park
Do you work near Streatham station?
Yes, we cover Streatham Park and the area towards Streatham station, about 0.5 miles east.

Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
What happens to the waste?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note as your record.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Duty holders and landlords in Streatham Park
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
