Choosing the right option

Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Tooting Bec
Is asbestos common in Tooting Bec homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Tooting Bec may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Tooting Bec and the area around Tooting station?
Yes, we cover Tooting Bec and the area towards Tooting station, about 0.6 miles south.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
It doesn’t always have to come out: material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
What does removal cost?
There’s no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
