About our asbestos removal in Waddon
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. People often contact us about garage roofs and whole garages and loft water tanks, including flue pipes, cement roof sheets and floor tiles.
In Waddon, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so access and parking are planned carefully. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

After the job
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Things not to do
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Responsibilities for owners
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Waddon, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Waddon
Do older homes in Waddon have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you work in Waddon 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.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.

HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
