Your questions about asbestos removal in Widmore
Can you work in Widmore with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do older homes in Widmore have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
What does removal cost?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. Every job gets a written quote.
Do you cover Widmore?
Yes, Widmore is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
About our asbestos removal in Widmore
You do not always have to remove asbestos. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will say so. From cement water tanks in lofts and debris left from a previous job, we deal with cement soffits, textured coatings and flue pipes and more.
Removal jobs around Widmore often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so access and parking are planned carefully. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Widmore
Materials deteriorate with age: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is often when people decide to remove them.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Garage roof sheets
If you let property near Bickley station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.
What your quote should include
- If the price includes VAT
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Any exclusions
- The scope of the job, in writing
Which option is right?
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Why choose us
- Clear written quotes
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note

A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
How we price asbestos removal
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Waste quantity and disposal
- What the material is and its state
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.

What else we do in Widmore
Duty holders and landlords in Widmore
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you manage or own a block in Widmore, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Making good is normally a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Materials we see
- Garage and shed roofs
- Panels and boards
- Water tanks
- Gutters and downpipes
- Flue pipes
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits (cement)
- Asbestos cement sheets

Doing it yourself?
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.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
