How asbestos removal works in Upper Norwood
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, and you get the waste paperwork. Whether it’s debris left from a previous job and outbuildings with cement roofs, we cover gutters and downpipes, floor tiles and textured coatings.
In towns and villages like Upper Norwood, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Choosing the right option
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
What you get
- Work done to the regulations
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Identify first, remove only when needed

Questions from Upper Norwood
Do you cover Upper Norwood and the area around Gipsy Hill station?
Yes. Gipsy Hill station is close to the centre of Upper Norwood, and we cover the whole area.
Can you work in Upper Norwood 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.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Responsibilities for owners
If your business premises in Upper Norwood were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Good to know
Before you book, note that:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is normally separate
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
What we deal with
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Bitumen roof felt
- Garage and shed roofs
- Gutters and downpipes
- Soffits (cement)
- Water tanks
- Artex and textured coatings
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Panels and boards
- Flue pipes
Afterwards
File the waste paperwork safely: it proves legal disposal.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Share any survey or test results
- Let us know where we can park
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
What to avoid
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
