Asbestos removal in Vauxhall
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, because the method depends on the material. We often deal with cement roof sheets, water tanks and floor tiles, and typical jobs are old waste on site and loft water tanks.
In London neighbourhoods like Vauxhall, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Helpful guides
Vauxhall questions
Do older homes in Vauxhall have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Vauxhall may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Vauxhall and the area around Vauxhall station?
Yes, we cover Vauxhall, including the streets around Vauxhall station.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Why people call us in Vauxhall
Sometimes damage forces the issue, especially if broken material is lying around.
People generally contact us about one of these:
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Artex before plastering
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Finds during refurbishment
For non-domestic buildings like Vauxhall Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
Before booking anyone
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Suitable insurance for the work
- If the price includes VAT
- What paperwork you get
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
