How asbestos removal works in Summerstown
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. Common materials are water tanks, textured coatings and flue pipes, and people generally contact us about sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and cement flues and gutters.
In London neighbourhoods like Summerstown, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Summerstown
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
These come up again and again:
- Loft water tanks
- Materials found mid-project
- Asbestos garages
- Artex ceilings before renovation
If you are on or near the A218, tell us about parking and loading, as main roads can be restricted.
Questions to ask before you book
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work

Questions from Summerstown
Do you cover Summerstown and the area around Earlsfield station?
Yes, we cover Summerstown and the area towards Earlsfield station, about 0.5 miles north.
Do you work in Summerstown despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
For managing agents and freeholders in Summerstown, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Looking after things afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
Some practical advice:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Share any survey or test results
Things not to do
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
