After the job
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, as the method may need to change.
Some practical advice:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- File the consignment note
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Avoid these
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Asbestos removal in The Wrythe
We remove asbestos from homes, rented property and commercial buildings across The Wrythe: garage roofs, flues, water tanks, Artex and floor tiles among them. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. Whether it’s loft water tanks and broken sheets in gardens, we cover gutters and downpipes, flue pipes and floor tiles.
In London neighbourhoods like The Wrythe, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Prices and what affects them
What changes the cost:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Licensed or non-licensed
- How easy it is to reach
- What the material is and its state
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Photos that help
The most useful photos are:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Street parking nearby
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.

Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
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.
Common reasons for removal jobs in The Wrythe
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Textured coatings
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Debris left from a previous job
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
At a school such as Victor Seymour Infants' School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
What your quote should include
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- The scope of the job, in writing
For businesses and landlords in The Wrythe
If you run a business from older premises in The Wrythe, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
FAQs for The Wrythe
Can you work in The Wrythe with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Is asbestos common in The Wrythe homes?
Any home in The Wrythe built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
What does removal cost?
Every job is priced individually: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

Which option is right?
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
