Duty holders and landlords in West Dulwich
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If your business premises in West Dulwich were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Looking after things afterwards
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it before the removal date.
To avoid problems in future:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell us about parking and access
- Book the replacement before removal
Don’ts
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
What it might be made of
Water tanks and flues
A Gas Safe engineer disconnects any gas appliance first.
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
How we work
Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, then loaded for disposal at a permitted site. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next. We plan outdoor jobs in West Dulwich to finish before dark: that means by about 3:55pm in December, or about 9:20pm in June.

Choosing the right option
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork.

Why choose us
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- No removal until we know what it is
