Need asbestos removal in West Wickham?

Asbestos removal near West Wickham
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, which still means proper controls. People often contact us about old flues and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles, including textured coatings, flue pipes and floor tiles.
In London neighbourhoods like West Wickham, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

West Wickham questions
Do you work in West Wickham despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Could my house in West Wickham contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in West Wickham may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
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.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
For businesses and landlords in West Wickham
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Keep the consignment note with your property records: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.

- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Don’ts
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
The process
As each piece comes out, it’s bagged or wrapped and labelled, ready to go to a permitted site. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away.

Helpful guides
A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Choosing the right option
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

What we deal with in West Wickham
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
These come up again and again:
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Materials found mid-project
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
At a school such as Oak Lodge Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
What to look for in a quote
- If the price includes VAT
- The documents you’ll receive
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
