Which option is right?
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Materials, one by one
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Floor tiles
Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.
Looking after things afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
A few practical points:
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Let us know where we can park
Don’ts
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

Questions from West Norwood
Is asbestos common in West Norwood homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in West Norwood may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in West Norwood despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
What it costs
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos removal:
- What the material is and its state
- How many samples are needed
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Location, parking and any London charges
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Photos that help
A few photos can save a site visit:
- Street parking nearby
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A rough size or measurement
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
