Asbestos removal in Tooting
Asbestos removal for Tooting properties
Removal is planned, not improvised: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed, before anyone starts. People often contact us about outbuildings with cement roofs and asbestos found during building work, including gutters and downpipes, cement soffits and cement roof sheets.
In Tooting, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so access and parking are planned carefully. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Asbestos removal in Tooting: local notes
Tooting is about 3 miles south-west of Stockwell, in Greater London. Tooting has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Tooting is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. Our nearest city page is London, about 6 miles away.
For rentals close to Tooting station, removal fits neatly between tenancies. Older buildings in Tooting, near St Augustine or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.
We handle removal jobs in every part of the SW17, SW19 and CR4 postcode area and the streets around it. Your property could be on Vant Road, Byton Road and Avarn Road. For properties just outside Tooting, we cover Tooting Bec (1 mile north-west), Colliers Wood (1 mile south), Furzedown (1 mile east), Streatham Park (1 mile east) and Summerstown (1 mile north-west). Larger places within reach include London (6 miles north-east), City of Westminster (6 miles north), Marylebone (6 miles north), Kensington (5 miles north), St Pancras (7 miles north) and Shoreditch (8 miles north-east).
Tooting is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, where parking and loading can be restricted: tell us about parking, permits and access when you ask for a quote.

Your options compared
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Why us?
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Covering London and the South East
- No removal until we know what it is

Materials we deal with
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Typical removal jobs in Tooting
Damage from DIY, storms or accidents can make removal necessary, especially if broken material is lying around.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Materials found mid-project
- Asbestos garages
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
In a school like St Boniface RC Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.

Common questions in Tooting
Can you work in Tooting with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Is asbestos common in Tooting homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Tooting?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Do you cover Tooting?
Yes. We cover Tooting and the surrounding area as part of Greater London. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
