Typical materials include textured coatings, gutters and downpipes and cement soffits, and people usually contact us about outbuildings with cement roofs and Artex before plastering.

After the job
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Book the replacement before removal
Avoid these
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.

FAQs for West Peckham
Is asbestos common in West Peckham homes?
Any home in West Peckham built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover West Peckham and the area around Wateringbury station?
Yes. Wateringbury station is about 2.7 miles east of West Peckham, and we cover both.
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.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
What happens
At the end, the work area is cleaned with suitable methods and checked, and we talk you through what was done. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions. In winter, the light goes in West Peckham by about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

How we price asbestos removal
We base our quote on:
- How much there is
- Disposal costs
- Travel and parking
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
What to photograph
What to photograph:
- An overall view
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A clear close-up
- A rough size or measurement
