Asbestos removal for Walworth
Asbestos removal near Walworth
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. We often deal with water tanks, flue pipes and cement roof sheets, and people normally contact us about old sheds and coal bunkers and old waste on site.
In Walworth, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
Keeping things safe:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Tell us about parking and access
- Book the replacement before removal
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.

How it works
Materials are released carefully and removed whole where possible, without breaking, dropping or power tools. We begin by confirming exactly what we’re doing, so there is no confusion.

- Share photos, the postcode and any survey or test you have
- We confirm what the material is and what category of work it falls into
- A written quote follows, covering method, controls and disposal
- We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can
- Everything is cleaned up, and the waste paperwork follows
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
- Dig out previous surveys
How to get a quote
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Helpful guides
Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Your options compared
Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
