Asbestos removal in Wimbledon
Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
How asbestos removal works in Wimbledon
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Typical jobs include asbestos garages and outbuildings with cement roofs, involving cement soffits, textured coatings and flue pipes.
In Wimbledon, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so access and parking are planned carefully. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Wimbledon
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, though in good condition it does not always need to go.
In older properties, we often see:
- Materials found mid-project
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Artex before plastering
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
For properties on main roads such as the A218 and B235, we plan parking and loading in advance.
Questions to ask before you book
- If the price includes VAT
- What paperwork you get
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork

FAQs for Wimbledon
Do older homes in Wimbledon have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Wimbledon may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in Wimbledon despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
What does removal cost?
There is no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
