About our asbestos removal in Wandsworth
Found asbestos during building work in Wandsworth? Work should stop there and people kept out. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. Whether it’s Artex before plastering and materials found mid-project, we deal with water tanks, textured coatings and cement roof sheets and more.
In Wandsworth, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Duty holders and landlords in Wandsworth
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
After we’ve finished in Wandsworth
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
Once we are done:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
What to avoid
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.

DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
What’s included, and what is not
A few things to be aware of:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Materials we see
- Flue pipes
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Garage and shed roofs
- Panels and boards
- Water tanks
- Artex and textured coatings
- Bitumen roof felt
- Soffits (cement)
- Gutters and downpipes
- Floor tiles and adhesive
Common questions in Wandsworth
Can you work in Wandsworth 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.
Do you cover Wandsworth and the area around Wandsworth Town station?
Yes. Wandsworth Town station is close to the centre of Wandsworth, and we cover the whole area.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What happens to the waste?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Can I stay at home during removal?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What we deal with in Wandsworth
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
In older properties, we often see:
- Loft water tanks
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Textured coatings
For non-domestic buildings like St Anne's CofE Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
