Questions from Sydenham Hill

How can I get a price?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.

Where asbestos turns up
Sometimes damage forces the issue, especially if broken material is lying around.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Old waste on site
- Textured coatings
In older buildings across Sydenham Hill, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- VAT, clearly stated
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Any exclusions

For landlords, agents and businesses
For managing agents and freeholders in Sydenham Hill, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Sydenham Hill must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Looking after things afterwards
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
After we have finished:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Share any survey or test results
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Things not to do
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
